Abstract :
The cladding modes of standard optical fibers have well-defined polarization states and provide useful probes for plasmonic effects in nanoscale metal particles deposited on the fiber surface. Experimental results using high-Q resonances from tilted Fiber Bragg gratings will be presented.
