Polycarbonate hollow-core microstructured optical fiber
Optics Letters, 2008A hollow-core microstructured polymer optical fiber is fabricated from polycarbonate material and guidance by inhibited coupling in a two-layer structure is demonstrated in two strong transmission bands with minimum losses of 9.0 dB/m at 800 nm and 3.1 dB/m at 1550 nm.

Hollow-core microstructured polymer optical fiber
Optics Letters, 2006We have fabricated microstructured polymer optical fibers that guide light in a hollow core using the photonic bandgap mechanism. The hollow core allows the use of polymer fibers to be extended to wavelength ranges where material absorption typically prohibits their use, with attenuation lower than the material loss observed in the infrared.

Highly tunable birefringent microstructured optical fiber
Optics Letters, 2002We demonstrate a method for introducing and dynamically tuning birefringence in a microstructured optical fiber. Waveguide asymmetry in the fiber is obtained by selective filling of air holes with polymer, and tunability is achieved by temperature tuning of the polymer's index. The fiber is tapered such that the mode field expands into the cladding and

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Comment on “Microstructured polymer fiber laser”
Optics Letters, 2005We comment on the recent Letter by Argyros et al. [Opt. Lett. 29, 1882 (2004)] in which a microstructured polymer fiber doped with the dye Rhodamine 6G was discussed as a possible fiber laser source. We suggest that the lasing action at 632 nm was due to stimulated Raman scattering in the poly(methyl methacrylate) host material.
