In this paper the comparison behaviour between a tapered silica Multi-Mode Fibre (MMF) and a Plastic Multi-Mode (PMM) fibre is proposed. The tapered silica MMF (tapered core and cladding) and PMM fibre (only core) sensors use a Tunable Laser Source (TLS) at 1550 nm and a yellow He-Ne laser at 594 nm...
