Dissimilar-fiber long-period fiber gratings: concept and demonstration

Applied Optics, 2017
A new type of long-period fiber grating structure that contains dissimilar fiber types is proposed. This dissimilar-fiber long-period fiber grating (DF-LPFG) structure is fabricated by splicing together subperiod sections of dissimilar fiber types. Due to the large index differences that can exist between various fiber types, the resulting DF-LPFGs can

Sensing Features of Long Period Gratings in Hollow Core Fibers [PDF]

Sensors, 2015
We report on the investigation of the sensing features of the Long-Period fiber Gratings (LPGs) fabricated in hollow core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) by the pressure assisted Electric Arc Discharge (EAD) technique. In particular, the characterization of the LPG in terms of shift in resonant wavelengths and changes in attenuation band depth to the

Optoelectronic Synaptic Devices Using Molecular Telluride Phase‐Change Inks for Three‐Factor Learning

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Optoelectronic synaptic devices based on solution‐processed molecular telluride GST‐225 phase‐change inks are demonstrated for three‐factor learning. A global optical signal broadcast through a silicon waveguide induces non‐volatile conductance updates exclusively in locally electrically flagged memristors.

Elasticity‐Driven Periodic Polarization Patterns in a Chiral Ferroelectric Nematic Fluid

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Chiral polar ferroelectric nematic fluids exhibit spontaneous formation of stripe, square, and hexagonal polarization textures under confinement. Controlled by thickness and anchoring, these patterns produce spatially modulated nonlinear optical responses.

Programmable long-period grating in a liquid core optical fiber [PDF]

Optics Letters, 2016
A programmable fiber long-period grating (LPG) is experimentally demonstrated in a liquid core optical fiber with a low insertion loss. The LPG is dynamically formed by a temperature gradient in real time through a micro-heater array. The transmission spectrum of the LPG can be completely reconfigured by digitally changing the grating period, index ...
