In this paper, a displacement sensor utilizing a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with a single-multi-air-gap-single mode (SMAS) fiber structure is proposed and demonstrated. A 30-cm-long four-mode step index fiber (FMSIF) is used as the multimode fiber in the SMAS structure, with the left end of the FMS...
