Abstract
A dual-resonance-coupling phenomenon and the sensing characteristics of an in-fiber modal interferometer based on cascaded long period gratings inscribed in an all-solid photonic bandgap fiber are demonstrated. Theoretical and experimental investigations reveal that the dual-resonance dips result from the coupling between fundamental core mode and two different kinds of LP01 cladding supermodes. Due to the deep grooves and asymmetric index distribution along the long period grating caused by side illumination, this dual-resonance interferometer is sensitive to polarization and twist, and the dual-resonance dips according to different LP01 cladding supermodes exhibit different responses to twist. Furthermore, the transmission loss and the resonance wavelength of each interference dip show discrimination in sensitivities of temperature and twist, making it a good candidate for multiple physics parameters measurements.
