Infiltration liquid crystal in microstructured polymer optical fibers [PDF]

CLEO/Europe - EQEC 2009 - European Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics and the European Quantum Electronics Conference, 2009
Microstructured polymer optical fibres (mPOFs) have attracted significant interests, mainly because fabrication techniques have allowed novel structures to be made at low temperature with polymers, especially PMMA (refractive index 1.49) [1]. Recently, thermal and electrical tunabilities of liquid crystals infiltrated silica photonic bandgap fibres ...

Optoelectronic and mechanical properties of microstructured polymer optical fiber neural probes

Optics Express, 2023
Multifunctional optical fiber-based neural interfaces have attracted significant attention for neural stimulation, recording, and photopharmacology towards understanding the central nervous system. In this work, we demonstrate the fabrication, optoelectrical characterization, and mechanical analysis of four types of microstructured polymer optical ...

Transmission performance of multimode W-type microstructured polymer optical fibers

Optics Express, 2022
By solving the time-independent power flow equation (TI PFE), we study mode coupling in a multimode W-type microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) with a solid-core. The multimode W-type mPOF is created by modifying the cladding layer and reducing the core of a multimode singly clad (SC) mPOF.

Superlubricity and Corrosion Inhibition Properties of Solvate Ionic Liquids in Hybrid Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic–Steel Interfaces

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Solvate ionic liquids lubrication reduced the coefficient of friction by ∼60% compared to dry sliding, reaching steady‐state values as low as 0.04–0.05. Corrosion weight‐loss measurements in 1 M HCl further demonstrated significant inhibition behavior, with only 100 ppm of [Li(G3)][TFSI] (∼68.5 μL/L) reducing corrosion‐product weight loss by 63 ...

Stretching the Printability Metric in Direct‐Ink Writing with Highly Extensible Yield‐Stress Fluids

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces “drawability” as a new metric for assessing printability in direct‐ink writing, focusing on gap‐spanning performance and speed robustness. By designing yield‐stress fluids with high extensibility, we demonstrate that extensional strain‐to‐break significantly enhances printability.

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Wavelength dependent transmission in multimode graded-index microstructured polymer optical fibers

Frontiers in Physics
Up to now, there have been no commercial simulation tools accessible for researching the transmission properties of multimode microstructured optical fibers (MOFs). In order to avoid this problem, this study uses the time-independent power flow equation (
