In this paper, high-order LP modes based Sagnac interference for temperature sensing are proposed and investigated theoretically. Based on the specific high-order LP modes excited through the mode selective couplers (MSCs), we design a stress-induced Panda-type few-mode fiber (FMF) supporting 4 LP modes and construct a Sagnac interferometer to achieve a highly sensitive temperature sensor. The performances of different LP modes (LP, LP, LP, and LP) are explored under a single Sagnac interferometer and paralleled Sagnac interferometers, respectively.

A novel quasi-twisted miniaturized wideband branch line coupler (BLC) is proposed. The design is based on bisecting the conventional microstrip line BLC transversely and folding bisected sections on double-layered substrates with a common ground plane in between. The input and output terminals, each with a length of λ/4, and the pair of quarter-wavelength horizontal parallel arms are converted into a Z-shaped meandered microstrip line in the designed structure.

In this work, we demonstrate in numerical simulation for the first time the hybridization of these two existing methods in a Si chip-based passive emitter (i.e.

With the increasing width of the air channel, valley-locked waveguide modes are found in topological bandgap by analyzing energy bands. Finite element method (FEM) simulation results show that the fundamental and high order modes are valley-locked, propagating unidirectionally under the excitation of chiral source, and possess higher flux compared to the valley-locked topological edge state in the domain wall.
