A section of spider dragline silk (SDS) is used to fabricate a Mach-Zehnder interferometer. SDS is integrated with fibers while acting as the light guide and humidity sensitive material at the same time. The refractive index of SDS changes with the variety of humidity, which leads to the spectral shift and thus humidity can be detected.
