Abstract :
We describe a double-layer monolithic silicon photonic crystal (PC) fiber tip sensor. The PC is fabricated using wafer-scale Si processing and epoxy bonding to the fiber. The sensor has sharper resonances and higher sensitivity to refractive index than previously-reported single-layer PC fiber tip sensors. The bonding technique enables batch production.
