Paper Abstract

This paper presents a stack of silicon nitride (SiNx) nano-films deposited with radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical deposition (RF PECVD) method on single-mode fiber end-face for refractive index (RI) sensing. The stack consist of high (n~2.4) and low (n~1.9) refractive index (at λ=1550 nm) SiNx nano-films arranged alternately. As a result of the experiment where 5 nano-layers were deposited, we received down to -30 dB-deep resonance in reflection spectrum at about λ=1550 nm. In the proposed sensing scheme both reflected power and wavelength of the resonance can be used for external RI measurements.
