We have theoretically and experimentally demonstrated a novel approach to excite Bloch surface wave (BSW) on tapered optical fibers, which are coated with one-dimensional photonic crystal (1DPC) consisting of periodic TiO2 and Al2O3 by atomic layer deposition technology. Two resonant dips are found in transmission spectra that are originated from the excitation of BSW for p-polarized light and s-polarized light, respectively. For the first time, we have demonstrated the developed device for refractive index (RI) sensing.
