Abstract:
Pressure fiber sensors, based on higher modes propagation analysis, are under discussion. An integrated realization of such sensors is proposed, which includes phase element as an on-fiber microrelief for prescribed mode excitation and doesn’t require mode content analysis of output beam. Numerical investigations of fiber excitation (using on-fiber microrelief) and beam propagation in fiber with microbending are described and results are given, that prove the possibility of making integrated pressure fiber sensors based on transverse modes selective excitation.

Key words:
fiber sensors, transverse modes selection, diffractive microrelief.
