Microstructured Optical Fiber Sensors

2007 9th International Conference on Transparent Optical Networks, 2007
Microstructured optical fiber (MOF) sensors are nowadays utilized or proposed for the measurement of a large variety of physical and chemical parameters, e.g. in environmental and biological applications because of their efficiency and versatility. This paper, at first, gives a short review of MOF sensors reported in literature. An evanescent field MOF

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 ...

Microstructured optical fibers

, 2017
In the mid-1990s, a new class of optical fibers emerged: the microstructured optical fiber (MOF) [1,2]. In these fibers, light is guided by a complex microstructure that often, but not always, includes air holes running along the fiber length.

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 ...

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 ...

Optical properties of microstructured optical fibers

SPIE Proceedings, 2004
ABSTRACT 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, 2006
A 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 ...

Microstructured Optical Fiber Sensors

Journal of Lightwave Technology, 2017
In this paper, a review of microstructured optical fiber (MOF) sensors is given. Various kinds of MOFs are described and their sensing applications are summarized. Two main types of MOF sensors in terms of grating based and interferometry based are reviewed.

Chalcogenide microstructured optical fibers

2012 Photonics Global Conference (PGC), 2012
Chalcogenide 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.

Slotted microstructured optical fibers

SPIE Proceedings, 2008
A new type of microstructured optical fiber, with a transverse slot running along its length, has been fabricated from polymethylmethacrylate. The slot exposes the fiber core over long lengths, allowing for materials to be directly introduced into the vicinity of the evanescent waves of the core modes.
