A microstructured polymer optical fiber biosensor
2006 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics and 2006 Quantum Electronics and Laser Science Conference, 2006We demonstrate selective detection of fluorophore labeled antibodies from minute samples probed by a sensor layer of the complementary biomolecules immobilized inside the air holes of microstructured Polymer Optical Fibers.

Future directions for microstructured polymer optical fibers
SPIE Proceedings, 2004Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibers (MPOF) were first made in 2001, and subsequent development has aimed at exploiting the material and design opportunities they present. Most effort has been focused on developing approaches for high bandwidth MPOF, and investigating the properties of multimode microstructured fibers.

Design of photosensitive microstructured polymer optical fibers
Frontiers of Optoelectronics in China, 2009We propose a new hole-assisted polymer optical fiber design to eliminate the influence of dopant diffusion and to increase the ultra violet (UV) writing efficiency in fiber Bragg grating inscription. The optical waveguide is formed inside a solid core polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) doped with photosensitive trans-4-stilbenemethanol, surrounded by a ...

Fabrication of microstructured polymer optical fiber preform
SPIE Proceedings, 2006We report a new technology to fabricate microstructured polymer optical fiber (MPOF, also named polymer photonic crystal fiber, pPCF) preform rods by in-situ polymerization of monomer in a mould. Series of pPCF preform rods including elliptic core fiber preform rod, single-mode fiber preform rod and ring-type holes structured preform rods have been ...

Numerical aperture in microstructured polymer optical fibers
SPIE Proceedings, 2005Microstructured or 'air-clad' fibers, with air holes surrounding a large core, have demonstrated much wider light acceptance angles than conventional fibers. Recently, a new method employing leaky modes has been used to determine the numerical aperture in highly multimode air-clad microstructured fibers.

Optics Letters, 2009
Ultrahigh-resolution fiber-optic image guides--fused image fiber, faceplate, and taper--were fabricated by using microstructured polymer optical fiber (MPOF) preforms composed of two polymers: polymethylmethacrylate and polystyrene. The pixel diameter in the resultant MPOF-based image guides was as small as 3 microm.

Applications of microstructured polymer optical fibers
2010 Photonics Global Conference, 2010This paper considers several applications of microstructured polymer optical fibres (mPOF) which rely on the properties of the polymer. These include strain sensing using single-mode mPOF inscribed with long period gratings, the use chiral materials to make circularly birefringent fibres, combinations of polymers to study novel fibre designs and the ...

Disordered microstructure polymer optical fiber for stabilized coherent random fiber laser
Optics Letters, 2013We have demonstrated the realization of a random polymer fiber laser (RPFL) based on laser dye Pyrromethene 597-doped one-dimensional disordered polymer optical fiber (POF). The stabilized coherent laser action for the disordered POF has been obtained by the weak optical multiple scattering of the polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes nanoparticles in ...

Development of large core microstructured polymer optical fiber
SPIE Proceedings, 2012In this paper we report the in-house synthesis of optical grade PMMA suitable for fiber development and fabrication of a large core micro-structured polymer optical fiber (mPOF). We have designed an mPOF with a core area of 580 μm2 and single mode performance at a wavelength of 650 nm. The photonic cladding is composed of 3 rings of air holes with a

Microstructured polymer optical fiber sensors for optoacoustic endoscopy
SPIE Proceedings, 2017Intravascular photoacoustics (IVPA) can complement intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) morphological information adding specificity. A practical IVUS/IVPA catheter is mandatory to have a wideband ultrasonic detector with enough sensitivity despite the necessary miniaturization to be fitted in less than 1 mm to pass through thin vasculature.
