摘要

A novel single-mode single-fiber (SMSF) MZI formed by cascading of two non-adiabatic fiber tapers, with stable and repeatable spectrum, has been found to be useful in sensing applications in recent times. A multimode interference based novel simulation approach is proposed to predict the sensing characteristics of SMSF-MZI and is validated with experimental observation. The proposed method includes solving of simultaneous non-homogenous equations for determining the amplitudes of the interfering modes excited in the tapered section of the interferometer. The simulated fringe pattern and the experimental spectral response converge to some important comprehension reported for the first time. A linear shift in output spectral response, of SMSF-MZI, due to change in optical path length induced by temperature/strain etc., is likely to be characterized by three modes interference occurring in the interference region of the interferometer. Whereas if the spectral shift starts saturating at moderately higher temperature/strain, then the formation of interference fringes are possibly governed by two modes interference. Further, it was also explained that a SMSF-MZI with variable fringe widths in its spectral pattern exhibits higher sensitivity than that of the SMSF-MZI having wavelength spectrum with uniform free spectral range. These findings are useful in selecting and predicting the sensitivity of a given SMSF-MZI, based on its spectrum, for sensing applications.
