The mechanism that induces such a change in the resonance wavelength behavior is the transition of the lowest order cladding mode into an overlay guided mode and the consequent mode redistribution. Here, the attention is focused on the analysis of the transition curves to determine the novel sensitivity characteristics of HRI-coated LPGs and to outline the dominant role of the overlay thickness and the mode order.

For refractive-index-type sensors, the waveguide is intrinsically the sensing element, and then chemical processes are measured with the variations of the refractive index, n, of guided modes. The majority of the various sensor types and published configurations make use of grating couplers (Fig. 10a) [83,84], resonant mirrors (Fig. 10b) [52,86-89] or interferometric sensors (Fig. 11) as...
