Optical fiber interferometer for temperature-independent refractive index measuring over a broad range

The present work relates to manufacturing of a simple interferometric optical fiber refractometer that features broad refractive index measuring range without ambiguity. The device consists of a cylindrical polymer cavity whose shape and dimensions are easily controllable. This in turn allows to con...
