Fiber-Loop Ringdown Multi-Function Sensors ()
Abstract
We demonstrate a fiber-loop ring down
multi-function sensors system, which can be used to measure refractive index
and curvature simultaneously. Good agreement has been found between theoretical
analyses and experimental results. It has great potential for sensor applications.
