Study of Side-polished Plastic Optical Fibers for Refractive Index Sensing

Abstract

A plastic optical fiber (POF) with a side-polished structure was proposed for refractive index (RI) sensing. The macro-bending POFs with side-polished structure have better sensing performance than the straight ones. The highest sensitivity reaches 8.64/RIU.
