An improved scheme for displacement measurement using the ultrahigh-order guided modes in a symmetrical metal-cladding optical waveguide is proposed. Based on this idea together with the lock-in amplification technique, a sensor with a stable displacement resolution of 3.3 pm is experimentally demonstrated without any complicated servo system.
