Accurate strain sensing based on super-mode interference in strongly coupled multi-core optical fibres

Abstract We report on the use of a multi-core fibre (MCF) comprising strongly-coupled cores for accurate strain sensing. Our MCF is designed to mode match a standard single mode optical fibre. This allows us to fabricate simple MCF interferometers whose interrogation is carried out with light source...
