My PhD research focussed on the study, design, and testing of novel fiber optic sensing devices utilizing the Lossy Mode Resonance (LMR) phenomenon. I have explored unconventional high-index cladding optical fibers and developed nanosized thin film coatings for enhanced sensing capabilities. Key achievements include demonstrating LMR in uncoated double-clad fibers and fabricating a PPO-based fiber optic gas sensor with high sensitivity for volatile compounds.
They were collaborators. We were together working for fabricating and testing LMR based sensors.
My research focused on the deposition of thin films on fiber transducers, utilizing the advanced deposition facilities at the Institute of Microelectronics and Optoelectronics. These facilities enabled precise control over the optical properties (refractive index and thickness) of various metal oxides and polymers, employing techniques like Magnetron Sputtering Deposition. Especially, the research was focused on deposition of Carbon Nitride films on etched MMF.
