Abstract

This article describes how to devise interference and self-imaging of core and cladding modes based devices using dissimilar core concatenated all-fibers. The core diameter mismatch in the structure excites the cladding modes with the core mode that leads to a progressive interference imaging between the cladding modes and the core mode yielding wavelength and refractive index dependent loss. Through a systematic study, we tune the device parameters to gauge temperature and concentration with sensitivity of 0.0713 dB/°C and 0.0372 dB/(% mL/mL) respectively as a high-performance fiber sensor. Next, optimizing the wavelength sensitive parameters of the host configuration, we investigate the transmission characteristics as gain-flattening filters (GFF) of Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) with maximum gain variations of 0.91 and 0.97 dB, for two different EDFAs respectively over a wavelength band of 33 and 25 nm. Finally, we demonstrate a tunable and two-flattop band rejection filters with rejection band of 14, 26 and 46 nm, respectively.
