Symmetry and degeneracy in microstructured optical fibers [PDF]

Optics Letters, 2001
The symmetry of an optical waveguide determines its modal degeneracies. A fiber with rotational symmetry of order higher than 2 has modes that either are nondegenerate and support the complete fiber symmetry or are twofold degenerate pairs of lower symmetry.

Confinement losses in microstructured optical fibers [PDF]

Optics Letters, 2001
We describe a multipole formulation that can be used for high-accuracy calculations of the full complex propagation constant of a microstructured optical fiber with a finite number of holes. We show how the imaginary part of the microstructure, which describes confinement losses not associated with absorption, varies with hole size, the number of rings

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 ...

Modal cutoff in microstructured optical fibers

Optics Letters, 2002
We analyze the nature of modal cutoff in microstructured optical fibers of finite cross section. In doing so, we reconcile the striking endlessly single-mode behavior with the fact that in such fibers all propagation constants are complex. We show that the second mode undergoes a strong change of behavior that is reflected in the losses, effective area,

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 ...

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 ...
