Microstructured Fibers for Sensing
2020Microstructured optical fibers (MOFs), which have a holey structure in the cladding/core region, exhibit enhanced sensing sensitivity and performance for liquid/gas samples. In MOFs, the presence of sensing samples in the holey cladding/core region increases mode-field overlap and effective interaction length between the samples and the optical signals,

Mechanical Strength of Microstructured Optical Fibers
Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2014An experimental study of the mechanical reliability of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) is reported. Tensile tests were carried on five types of MOFs and two reference fibers, and the tensile strengths were analyzed using Weibull statistics. Optical microscopy of the surfaces of rupture allowed identifying the critical flaws and determining the ...

Birefringent microstructured fibers: Properties and applications
Proceedings of 2003 5th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2003., 2004Development of sophisticated techniques for manufacturing microstructured fibers has enabled the production of fibers with precisely controlled structures. For instance, fibers with very low or high birefringence have been demonstrated. We present the status of our work on characterization of the dispersion properties of birefringent microstructured ...

Resonance and scattering in microstructured optical fibers
Optics Letters, 2002We present an investigation into the mechanism for guidance of microstructured optical fibers consisting of high-refractive-index cylinders embedded in a low-index background. A new guidance regime is identified in which the fibers' confinement losses depend strongly on wavelength and the positions of the loss minima and maxima depend on the scattering

Microstructured Materials Based on Multicompartmental Fibers
Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2009We demonstrate herein the fabrication of novel multicompartmental biodegradable microstructures via electrohydrodynamic cospinning of two or more polymer solutions. Under optimized processing conditions, the interface between the solutions can be sustained continuously for long time intervals, yielding fibers with multiple chemically distinct ...

Microstructured Optical Fibers
2006This 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 ...
