“…To overcome the drawback of surface roughness due to imperfect polishing of the fibre ends, fibre bragg gratings were used as reflective elements and applied to refractive index sensing 6 and microfluid monitoring. 7,8 Another promising approach, using fibre-loops (fibre-ring cavities) instead of reflective layers, have been the subject of many publications to date, being applied to numerous sensing purposes such as refractive index measurements, 9 trace gas detection, 10 pressure, 11, 12 strain, 13 temperature, 14 and force sensing 15 as well as for fluid monitoring. 16,17 A major drawback that all the above approaches have in common is an almost 100 coupling loss when launching light into the cavity, either through the reflective layers (R>99.9 ) or by using couplers of high split ratios (e.g.…”
