The influence of gap in vertical coupling structure on the resonance characteristics of bonding and anti-bonding modes in the transmission spectrum was studied through simulation and experiments. The results indicate that the bonding and anti-bonding modes generated by the vertical coupling of the two microcavities, as well as the changes in the radius and refractive index of the micro-toroid, and the distance between the microcavities caused by the absorption of vapor during the gas sensing process, exhibit different wavelength shifts for the two resonant modes. Smart microcavity sensors exhibit sensitivity and sensing characteristics. .展开更多

The sensor is composed of a single loop formed by loosely tying a knot using single mode fiber. To measure the transmission spectra, a tunable laser and an optic power meter are connected to the two ends of fi- ber loop, respectively. Significant WGM resonances occur over the investigated wavelength range for all the sensors with different bend radius. The angular-displacement sensitivity is studied in the range from -0. 1°to 0. 1°. The detection limit of 1.49 × 10 ^-7 rad can be achieved for the detecting system with the resolution of lpm. The simple loop-structure fiber sensor has potential application prospect in the field of architecture or bridge building with low detection limit and low cost.展开更多
