We examine the effect of modal interference on the performance of a single mode-multimode-single mode (SMS) fiber optic microbend sensor structure. The study shows that if the coupling from higher order modes of the sensing multimode fiber to the lead-out single mode (SM) fiber is not zero, the outp

We report on sensitivity control of fiber optic sensors using microbend long-period fiber gratings. By tuning the phase difference between a pair of periodically aligned rod arrays that sandwiches a single-mode fiber, we can change the coupling strength of the core mode with radiating cladding modes
A 3-D surface proΓΏlometer is described which uses a simple ΓΏber optic coupler to form a Young's double pinhole interferometer. The Young's fringes are projected onto a surface, captured by a camera and analyzed using the Fourier transform method. The phase of the fringe pattern on the object is used
