Abstract:
We present a new type of fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer based on a fiber taper and a pair of inner air bubbles for highly sensitive ethanol concentration measurement. The experimental results show there is a nonlinear relationship between the wavelength shift of the dip located near 1485 nm and the ethanol concentration but in the concentration range from 0.3 to 0.7 it can be seen as a linear response with a sensitivity of 28 nm/vol.
