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 ...

Microstructured chalcogenide glass fibers

Advanced Solid State Lasers, 2015
Various chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers operating in the Mid-IR range have been elaborated in order to associate the high non-linear properties of these glasses and the original microstructured optical fibers properties.

Microstructured and multicore fibers and fiber lasers

2006 Optical Fiber Communication Conference and the National Fiber Optic Engineers Conference, 2006
Microstructured and multi-core fiber lasers were fabricated that have produced more than 1.3 W/cm at 1.5 /spl mu/m. Near 2 W single frequency, single-transverse-mode output was demonstrated.

Microstructured Fibers for Sensing

2020
Microstructured 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,

Birefringent microstructured fibers: Properties and applications

Proceedings of 2003 5th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2003., 2004
Development 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 ...

Microstructure-fiber frequency converters

Laser Physics Letters, 2004
Microstructure fibers with multiple micron and submicron fused silica waveguide channels are shown to be ideally suited for highly efficient anti-Stokes frequency conversion. These fibers are capable of generating ultrashort pulses of frequency-tunable radiation with controlled chirp, allowing the creation of new sources of tunable radiation for ...
