Abstract:
An optical sensor device includes an optical waveguide portion having a core, the core having a first refractive index, and a functional material layer coupled to the optical fiber portion, the functional material layer being made of a metal oxide material, the functional material layer being structured to have a second refractive index, the second refractive index being less than the first refractive index. The functional material layer may be a nanostructure material comprising the metal oxide material with a plurality of holes or voids formed therein such that the functional material layer is caused to have the second refractive index.

Claim (Index 7):
The method according to  claim 6 , wherein the optical waveguide portion is a D-shaped optical fiber having a cladding layer having a partial cylindrical cross-section, the cladding layer and the functional material layer being made of different materials, the core being provided at least in part within the cladding layer and being partially exposed to the environment, the functional material layer being provided on a top, flat surface of the cladding layer and a top portion of the core.
