Soliton squeezing in microstructure fiber

Optics Letters, 2002
We demonstrate, for the first time to our knowledge, the generation of squeezed light by means of soliton self-phase modulation in microstructure fiber. We observe and characterize the formation of solitons in the microstructure fiber at 1550 nm. A maximum squeezing of 2.7 dB is observed, corresponding to 4.0 dB after correcting for detection losses ...

Linear-core-array microstructured fiber

Optics Letters, 2009
Linear-core-array microstructured fibers are fabricated using the modified chemical-vapor desposition and etching method for preparing each core performs, and two D-shape large-scale silica rods are also used in the linear-core-array fiber perform stacking.

Prospective for biodegradable microstructured optical fibers

Optics Letters, 2006
We report fabrication of a novel microstructured optical fiber made of biodegradable and water soluble materials that features approximately 1 dB/cm transmission loss. Two cellulose butyrate tubes separated with hydroxypropyl cellulose powder were codrawn into a porous double-core fiber offering integration of optical, microfluidic, and potentially ...

Microstructured Fiber Bragg Gratings

Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2009
The first fiber Bragg gratings were accidentally written in a Ge-doped silica fiber using a high power argon-ion laser [Hill 1978]. Following this first evidence of photosensitivity in optical fibers, a huge effort was put into fiber gratings: improving their fabrication (they are now all externally inscribed), obtaining complex profiles, optimizing ...

Chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers

2012 Photonics Global Conference (PGC), 2012
Chalcogenide glasses are known for their large transparency in the mid-infrared and their high linear refractive index (>2). They present also a high non-linear coefficient (n 2 ), 100 to 1000 times larger than for silica, depending on the composition. we have developed a casting method to prepare the chalcogenide preform.

Microstructured Optical Fiber Sensors

Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2017
In this paper, a review of microstructured optical fiber (MOF) sensors is given. Various kinds of MOFs are described and their sensing applications are summarized. Two main types of MOF sensors in terms of grating based and interferometry based are reviewed.

Microstructured and Nanostructured Fibers

Integrated Photonics Research and Applications/Nanophotonics, 2006
The optical fiber drawing process makes it straightforward to incorporate two-dimensionally structured materials into optical fibers. We use structured materials to demonstrate several new waveguide designs which illustrate the potential for improved performance.

Microstructured Optical Fibers

2006
This chapter explores microstructured optical fibers that have now developed to the point where they are not only of interest from a research perspective, but are also becoming available commercially. This chapter demonstrates that good quality index guiding holey fibers (HFs) and photonic bandgap fibers (PBGFs) based on a cladding structure with a ...

Slotted microstructured optical fibers

SPIE Proceedings, 2008
A new type of microstructured optical fiber, with a transverse slot running along its length, has been fabricated from polymethylmethacrylate. The slot exposes the fiber core over long lengths, allowing for materials to be directly introduced into the vicinity of the evanescent waves of the core modes.

Microstructure Fiber Soliton Laser

IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 2006
We demonstrate femtosecond pulse operation of a soliton fiber laser at 1.06-mum wavelength. This laser makes use of a single piece of microstructure fiber that has been designed to simultaneously provide anomalous dispersion and laser gain. Using a saturable absorber mirror with deep modulation depth to initiate and sustain mode-locking, this fiber ...
