Plasmonic microstructured optical fibers
2015 17th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), 2015Placing large aspect-ratio nanowires made from metals into fibers leads to new application areas of optical fibers. Using our pressure-assisted melt-filling approach various hybrid fibers have been fabricated by filling the air holes of photonic crystal fibers with materials such as noble metals, semiconductors, fluids or low-melting compound glasses ...

Microstructured and Nanostructured Fibers
Integrated Photonics Research and Applications/Nanophotonics, 2006The 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.

The microstructure of stabilized fibers
Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1988AbstractThe morphology and microstructure of a stabilized fiber, nonburning fiber, has been investigated under optical and electron microscopes, and a model for the structure of the stabilized fiber is presented. Skin‐core morphology was found in the cross section of the stabilized fiber.

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

Observation of soliton fission in microstructured fiber
Applied Optics, 2012Femtosecond pulse propagation at λ=802 nm; in microstructured fiber (MF) with zero-dispersion wavelength at 780 nm is studied experimentally and numerically. The temporal and spectral distributions of the femtosecond pulse in MF are demonstrated by using a grating-eliminated no-nonsense observation of ultrafast incident laser light e-fields technique.

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 ...
