摘要
We present several simple sensitive fiber-optics-based sensors that utilize a biconical fiber taper. A displacement sensor with 100-nm accuracy, a temperature monitor with sensitivity Delta T similar to 1 degrees C, and a refractive-index sensor capable of measuring Delta n similar to 1.42 x 10(-5) are demonstrated using tapers made from a standard single-mode fiber.
