Resumen
An all-fiber mode interferometer consisting of a short segment of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) fusion spliced to standard
single mode optical fiber and pressed on localized regions is proposed for multi-parameter sensing. In our configuration,
the physical parameter being sensed changes the fringe contrast (or visibility) of the interference pattern and also causes
a shift to the same. To achieve this dual effect the device is pressed on localized regions over a few millimeters. In this
manner we introduce losses and effective refractive index changes to the interference modes, hence visibility and shift to
the interference pattern. Our interferometer is suitable for monitoring diverse physical parameters such as weight, force,
pressure, load, etc. The advantage is that no temperature or power fluctuations compensation is required.
