Microstructured Optical Fiber Sensors

2007 9th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2007
Microstructured optical fiber (MOF) sensors are nowadays utilized or proposed for the measurement of a large variety of physical and chemical parameters, e.g. in environmental and biological applications because of their efficiency and versatility. This paper, at first, gives a short review of MOF sensors reported in literature. An evanescent field MOF

Microstructured polarizing fiber

SPIE Proceedings, 2005
Introduction of metal elements into the optical fiber's structure creates new possibilities of waveguides' parameters' modification especially permit to obtain polarizing fibers. A known solution is introducing of molten metal into a hole situated along a single-mode fibre's core.

Microstructured optical fibers

2017
In the mid-1990s, a new class of optical fibers emerged: the microstructured optical fiber (MOF) [1,2]. In these fibers, light is guided by a complex microstructure that often, but not always, includes air holes running along the fiber length. Due to their enormous scientific and technological potential, these fibers have been a major field of study in

Microstructured fiber lasers

2005 IEEE LEOS Annual Meeting Conference Proceedings, 2005
Summary form only given. Microstructured fibers and fiber lasers are providing new approaches for achieving single transverse mode guiding in large core fibers. We have successfully fabricated microstructured fibers from phosphate glass that allows the same high doping levels as in our step index fibers.

Microstructured Optical Fibers

Optics and Photonics News, 2002
Microstructured optical fibers have unique properties that offer an opportunity to manipulate light in new ways, providing a platform for a novel class of all-fiber photonic devices. The authors review recent developments in the design and application of microstructured optical fibers for tuning and switching optical signals.

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.
