| Abstract: |
Highlights: [•] The performance of etched FBGs as refractive index sensors is studied both theoretically and experimentally. [•] The etching process is modeled and analytic expressions for the heating and etching rates are provided. [•] The etched FBGs are utilized as liquid level sensors for liquids with lower and higher RI than that of the fiber core. [•] In both cases, analytic expressions are provided which enable the direct calculation of the submersion length. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
