Abstract
A salinity sensor based on a Two-Core optical fiber is demonstrated. The sensor response and sensitivity can be easily adjusted by simply controlling an etching process to expose the off-axis core. The proposed RI sensor exhibits a sensitivity exceeding 1,400 nm/RIU for salinity concentrations below 1 M.
