      Accurate Strain Sensing Based On Super-Mode Interference In Strongly Coupled Multi-Core Optical Fibres 

      Villatoro Bernardo, Agustín Joel; Arrizabalaga Uriarte, Oskar ORCID; Durana Apaolaza, Gaizka ORCID; Antonio López, José Enrique; Zubia Zaballa, Joseba Andoni; Schülzgen, Axel; Amezcua Correa, Rodrigo (Nature Publishing Group, 2017-06-30)
      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 ...
