Fiber fuse effect in microstructured fibers
OFC 2003 Optical Fiber Communications Conference, 2003., 2003In this paper we report the first observation of the fuse effect in a microstructured fiber. The fiber was fabricated by drilling holes in a silica rod and subsequent drawing of a fiber with output diameter of 125 /spl mu/m. The threshold intensity of laser radiation and some features of catastrophic damage differ strongly from those for conventional ...

All-fiber mode-locked fiber laser
Optics Letters, 2007An environmentally stable mode-locked fiber laser based on nonlinear polarization rotation is experimentally demonstrated. The laser is based on a novel laser configuration that has negligible low-power steady-state reflectivity from one side and, consequently, no CW gain.

Fiber-optic gyroscope with polarization-holding fiber
Optics Letters, 1983A fiber gyroscope is reported that uses polarization-holding fiber in the coil, the phase modulator, and the coupler. The random-drift coefficient, calculated from rms noise levels, was 8.10(-4) deg/ radicalh, within a factor of 2 of an experimentally determined quantum and thermal limit. White-noise behavior was observed for integration time constants

> MODERN ALCHEMY is changing not base metals, but polymers into gold. The manufacture of polymer fibers is one of today's fastest-expanding industries. With increasing demands for fibers for clothing, tires, space applications and a variety of other needs, the consumption of both natural and man-made fibers has increased by leaps and bounds during the ...
