Long Period Fiber Gratings Inscribed With an Improved Two-Dimensional Scanning Technique

IEEE Photonics Journal, 2014
We demonstrated a promising CO2 laser irradiation system based on an improved 2-D scanning technique. Such a system could be used to inscribe high-quality long period fiber gratings (LPFGs) with good reproducibility of grating inscription, which ...

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

Long-Period Fiber Gratings in Active Fibers

, 2013
Traditionally, long period fiber gratings (LPG) are made in passive optical fibers that have negligible loss. However, loss or gain that can be controlled via optical pumping adds a new degree of freedom and - as will be shown in this chapter - brings many new and interesting properties.

Opportunities of Semiconducting Oxide Nanostructures as Advanced Luminescent Materials in Photonics

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
The review discusses the challenges of wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconducting oxides as a suitable material platform for photonics. They offer great versatility in terms of tuning microstructure, native defects, doping, anisotropy, and micro‐ and nano‐structuring. The review focuses on their light emission, light‐confinement in optical cavities, and

Long period fiber gratings in anti-resonant hollow core fiber

Applied Physics Express
Long period gratings, based on anti-resonant hollow core fibers (AR-HCFs), are fabricated using a high-frequency CO _2 laser pulse by carving periodic grooves. This device exhibits both axial strain and bending sensing characteristics.

Strong long-period fiber gratings recorded at 352?nm [PDF]

Optics Letters, 2005
We describe long-period grating inscription in hydrogenated telecom fibers by use of high-intensity femtosecond 352 nm laser pulses. We show that this technique allows us to fabricate high-quality 30 dB gratings of 300 microm period and 2 cm length by use of a three-photon absorption mechanism.

Localized Temperature Monitoring in Mouse Brain during Light Delivery via a Non‐Planar Tapered Fiber‐Integrated µRTD Sensor

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
We report a multifunctional tapered optical fiber integrating a conformal micro‐resistance temperature detector (µRTD) for local, real‐time thermometry during optical stimulation. The platform combines light‐delivery and temperature sensing within a minimally invasive footprint, enabling detection of sub‐degree cortical heating under representative ...
