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

Modal cutoff in microstructured optical fibers
Optics Letters, 2002We 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), 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 ...

Optical properties of microstructured optical fibers
SPIE Proceedings, 2004ABSTRACT In conventional optical fibers the light guiding and other optical properties are mainly controlled by the index profile as given by the composition of the doping materials. In this case technological and material properties limit the design flexibility of the optical properties. For example, it is not possible to shift the region of anomalous

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 ...

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.

Chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers
2012 Photonics Global Conference (PGC), 2012Chalcogenide glasses are known for their large transparency in the mid-infrared and their high linear refractive index (>2). They present also a high non-linear coefficient (n 2 ), 100 to 1000 times larger than for silica, depending on the composition. we have developed a casting method to prepare the chalcogenide preform.

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 ...

Optical fiber gratings written in microstructured optical fibers
2012 Photonics Global Conference (PGC), 2012Microstructured optical fibers are usually divided into two different types of fibers: solid-core Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) and air-core photonic bandgaps fibers (PBGs). This paper presents the fabrication methods and applications of optical fiber gratings written in both solid-core PCFs and air-core PBGs. A sensitive stain sensor was demonstrated
