A comprehensive model for designing robust all-in-fiber microresonator-based optical sensing setups is illustrated. The investigated all-in-fiber setups allow light to selectively excite high-Q whispering gallery modes (WGMs) into optical microresonators, thanks to a pair of identical long period gratings (LPGs) written in the same optical fiber. Microspheres and microbubbles are used as microresonators and evanescently side-coupled to a thick fiber taper, with a waist diameter of about 18 µm, in between the two LPGs. The model is validated by comparing the simulated results with the experimental data. A good agreement between the simulated and experimental results is obtained. The model is general and by exploiting the refractive index and/or absorption characteristics at suitable wavelengths, the sensing of several substances or pollutants can be predicted.

The model is validated by comparing the simulated results with the experimental data. A good agreement between the simulated and experimental results is obtained. As an application example, the sensing of the concentration of an aqueous glycerol solution is demonstrated. The model is general and by exploiting the refractive index and/or absorption characteristics at suitable wavelengths, the sensing of other substances or pollutants can be also predicted.

It is noted that the best technical characteristics of optoelectronic microwave self-oscillators (OESO) are reached in schemes employing high-Q optical microresonators (OMR) working in the traveling wave modes (TWM). A possibility of using disk OMRs excited by fundamental whispering gallery modes (WGM) has been considered. Multielement coupling devices (CD) for such resonators have been investigated. They are constructed on the basis of planar optical waveguides (POWG) located over the disk resonator surface in a region bounded by the outer and inner caustics of the WGM. Models of this device have been proposed. The corresponding calculations have been provided.
