Fabrication of multiple parallel suspended-core optical fibers by sheet-stacking [PDF]

, 2014
We demonstrate the fabrication of a novel type of optical fibers with multiple parallel air-suspended cores by the sheet-stacking method. Using this technique we have constructed optical fibers with up to 10 parallel micron-size suspended cores. No extra

The role of confinement loss in highly nonlinear silica holey fibers [PDF]

, 2003
Small-core holey fibers (HFs) can offer tight mode confinement, and are, therefore, attractive for highly nonlinear fiber applications. However, we show here that confinement loss can significantly degrade the performance of devices based on such small ...

Non-silica microstructured optical fibers for mid-IR supercontinuum generation from 2 µm - 5 µm

, 2006
We have performed numerical simulations to investigate the optimization of compound glass microstructured optical fibers for mid IR supercontinuum generation beyond the low loss transmission window of silica, using pump wavelengths in the range 1.55-2.25

Fabrication of imaging microstructured optical fibers [PDF]

, 2019
We demonstrate the fabrication of multi-core (imaging) microstructured optical fiber via soft-glass extrusion through a 3D printed die. The combination of 3D metal printing and extrusion allows for unprecedented control of the optical fiber geometry.
