Electrically Tunable Propagation Properties of the Liquid Crystal-Filled Terahertz Fiber
A bandgap-guiding microstructured fiber for terahertz (THz) radiation was designed by infiltrating the cladding air holes with nematic liquid crystal. Structural parameter dependence of the photonic bandgaps, polarization-dependent bandgap splitting, and

Photoinduced Electron Transfer Based Ion Sensing within an Optical Fiber
We combine suspended-core microstructured optical fibers with the photoinduced electron transfer (PET) effect to demonstrate a new type of fluorescent optical fiber-dip sensing platform for small volume ion detection.

Highly sensitive salinity sensor based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer with double-C fiber
This paper proposes a highly sensitive, compact, and low-cost optical fiber salinity sensor based on the Mach-Zehnder interferometer. The sensor is constructed using a single mode fiber (SMF) - no-core fiber - double-C fiber (DCF) - NCF-SMF structure ...

Intrinsically narrowband pair photon generation in microstructured fibres [PDF]
In this paper we study the tailoring of photon spectral properties generated by four-wave mixing in a birefringent photonic crystal fibre (PCF). The aim is to produce intrinsically narrow-band photons and hence to achieve high non-classical interference ...

Index matching between passive and active tellurite glasses for use in microstructured fiber lasers: Erbium doped lanthanum-tellurite glass [PDF]
Active and passive variants of La-containing tellurite glasses have been developed with matched refractive indices. The consequences of adding lanthanum to the glass was studied through measurements of the crystallization stability, glass viscosity and ...
