Abstract
This paper discusses the details about the fabrication of single-mode fiber (SMF)- and multi-mode fiber (MMF)-based core-offset sensor structures for biomolecules detection. SMF-MMF-SMF (SMS) and SMF-core-offset MMF-SMF (SMS structure with core-offset) are proposed in this paper. In the conventional SMS structure the incident light is introduced from the SMF to the MMF and then passes through the MMF to the SMF. However, in the SMS-based core offset structure (COS) the incident light is introduced from the SMF to the core offset MMF and then passes through the MMF to the SMF, and more incident light leaks at the fusion point between the SMF and the MMF. This structure causes more incident light to leak out from the sensor probe, forming evanescent waves. By analyzing the transmitted intensity, the performance of COS can be improved. The results show that the structure of the core offset has great potential for the development of fiber-optic sensors.
