The sensitivity of the sensor could be enhanced by tapering the multimode fiber to a 10μm diameter size and 50mm of waist length. The tapered multimode fiber sensor was tested with the different concentration of sodium chloride (NaCl) which is diluted in the distilled water. The tapered multimode fiber sensor (TMFS) is easy to fabricate, compact, and simple. The sensitivity of the sensor achieved 0.1705 a.u/M. The findings demonstrated the capability of TMFS for salinity sensing and its potential application for detection of chemical sample.","PeriodicalId":282572,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 5th International Conference on Photonics (ICP)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131559703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The modified system which uses dual drive Mach Zehnder Modulator (DD-MZM) is simulated and the DDMZM bias voltages and splitting ratio is optimized for proposed system. The performance of system is demonstrated as BER of users. Results show that the proposed system at BER of 10-9 has 1 dB advantage over normal DCDM. Performance of system over 8 channels WDM network is also investigated. It is shown that the performance gap between proposed system and normal DCDM increases by decreasing the channel spacing.","PeriodicalId":282572,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 5th International Conference on Photonics (ICP)","volume":"192 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116531501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
