| contents | The present work deals with a curvature sensor that consists of two segments of asymmetric multicore fiber (MCF) fusion spliced with standard single mode fiber (SMF). The MCF comprises three strongly coupled cores; one of such cores is at the geometrical center of the MCF. The two segments of MCF are short, have different lengths (less than 2 cm each), and are rotated 180 degrees with respect to each other. The fabrication of the sensor was carried out with a fusion splicing machine that has the means for rotating optical fibers. It is demonstrated that the sensor behaves as two SMF-MCF-SMF structures in series, and consequently, it has enhanced sensitivity. The device proposed here can be used to sense the direction and amplitude of curvature by monitoring either wavelength shifts or intensity changes. In the latter case, high curvature sensitivity was observed. The device can also be used for the development of other highly sensitive sensors to monitor, for example, vibrations, force, pressure, or any other parameter that induces periodic or local curvature or bending to the MCF segments. |
