  • Abstract
    The thermal characteristics of the ethanol-filled hollow core photonic crystal fiber (HCPCF) based modal interferometer (MI) is investigated theoretically and experimentally. The effective refractive index difference between the interference modes and thermal sensitivity are improved greatly after filling ethanol solution into the air core and claddings of the HCPCF.
