In most fiber-optic gas sensing applications where the interested refractive index (RI) is ~1.0, the sensitivities are greatly constrained by the large mismatch between the effective RI of the guided mode and the RI of the surrounding gaseous medium. This fundamental challenge necessitates the devel...
