Abstract :
We propose simple but very effective methods for implementing all-PCF interferometers. The interference properties between the core and cladding modes of a PCF are investigated. The spatial frequency of the interference fringe resulting from the same order of cladding mode was linearly proportional to the PCF length forming the interferometer.
