Microstructured Optical Fibers
2006This 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 ...

Transverse light guides in microstructured optical fibers
Optics Letters, 2006A novel class of microstructured optical fiber coupler is introduced that operates by resonant, rather than proximity, energy transfer by means of transverse light guides built into a fiber cross section. Such a design permits significant spatial separation between interacting fibers, which, in turn, eliminates intercore cross talk owing to proximity ...

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 ...

Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibers
Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2009The fabrication, materials, properties and applications of microstructured polymer optical fibers are reviewed. Microstructured polymer optical fibers formed the basis of extensive work on the physics of microstructured fibers, and an outline of the contribution to the wider field of microstructured fibers is also presented.

PROGRESS IN MICROSTRUCTURED OPTICAL FIBERS
Annual Review of Materials Research, 2006▪ Abstract The development of microstructured optical fibers has led to the realization of many optical properties in fiber form that were not previously attainable. This chapter reviews the background to this work and overviews both the fundamentals of and progress in fabricating and modeling these structures.

3D printed microstructured optical fibers
2017 SBMO/IEEE MTT-S International Microwave and Optoelectronics Conference (IMOC), 2017In this investigation we report, to the best of our knowledge, the first realization of air-core optical fibers obtained by drawing a 3D printed preform. Two different optical fibers are presented. Descriptions on the preform preparation and fiber drawing are provided, and our preliminary results are presented.

Optical Properties of Microstructure Optical Fibers
2003The development of optical-fiber cables and communications technology has undergone a dramatic revolution over the past decade [1]. The most basic design of an optical fiber consists of silica cladding that surrounds a silica core doped with germanium (GeO2), which increases the index of refraction by up to 2% above that of pure silica, allowing light ...

Optical Aging of Chalcogenide Microstructured Optical Fibers
Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2014The evolution with time of optical transmission of chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers has been studied. Microstructured optical fibers with “grapefruit” geometry (six holes) have been prepared from four glass compositions (Te20As30Se50, As38Se62, Ge10As22Se68, and As40S60).

Resonance and scattering in microstructured optical fibers
Optics Letters, 2002We present an investigation into the mechanism for guidance of microstructured optical fibers consisting of high-refractive-index cylinders embedded in a low-index background. A new guidance regime is identified in which the fibers' confinement losses depend strongly on wavelength and the positions of the loss minima and maxima depend on the scattering

Nonlinear optics of microstructure fibers
Uspekhi Fizicheskih Nauk, 2004Microstructure fibers have opened a new phase in nonlinear optics. Due to their unique properties, fibers of this type radically enhance all the basic nonlinear-optical phenomena, offering new strategies for frequency conversion, spectral transformation, and control of ultrashort laser pulses.
