Paper Title
Research Related to Sensor Based Application of Photonic Crystal Fiber

Abstract
Photonic crystal fiber signifies the new form of fiber optics that provides a variety of enhanced features over the classic optical fiber. These fibers possess the combined properties of the photonic crystal and the optical fiber which make them suitable for the sensing applications. An overview of photonic crystal fiber as sensor is presented in this paper based on their guiding mechanism and interferometry techniques used for their applications. Various sensors have been developed so far and more are expected build up based on their remarkable characteristics. Keywords - Fiber optics, photonic bandgap, fiber interferometry, sensor applications.
