Abstract

A new kind of highly-sensitive refractometer is demonstrated based on the polarimetric interference of rectangular microfiber. The measured sensitivity is as high as 18,987nm per refractive index unit around refractive index of 1.33. The calculation is in good agreement with the experimental results. This device exhibits the performance of high sensitivity, easy implementation, high stability and repeatability.
