Description/Abstract

The optical properties of air-clad fibres are critically dependent on core size and can be of particular interest for sensing applications. For example, significant overlap between the guided mode and the air occurs when the core is small relative to the wavelength of light. By measuring absorption, the evanescent field located in the holes could be exploited for gas sensing [1]. Such a device would require only very small volumes of gas and could be coiled compactly.
