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.

The microstructure of stabilized fibers

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, 1988
AbstractThe 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 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.

Plasmonic microstructured optical fibers

2015 17th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks (ICTON), 2015
Placing 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, 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 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,

Mechanical Strength of Microstructured Optical Fibers

Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2014
An 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., 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 ...

Microstructured Materials Based on Multicompartmental Fibers

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2009
We 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 ...
