Abstract
A 3D skew ray modeling has been developed to consistently explain the exper imental phenomena for an intrinsic SPR multimode optical fiber sensor. The effects of the polarization direction of the incident light at certain cond itions have been clarified. This simulation is needed to accurately detect the variations of the refractive index of the bulk medium and of the thickn ess of the thin surface layer. More complete knowledge about light energy t ransmission by the skew ray in the multimode step-index fiber is obtained b y this investigation. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
