Optical fibers and their applications
Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research Section A: Accelerators, Spectrometers, Detectors and Associated Equipment, 1989Abstract Fiber optics have become in the last few years an extremely attractive method of data transfer. A short review of their properties and of their applications is given, together with some feelings from personal experience of the author.

A state of the art review of nonsilica based infrared fibers is presented. Two types of fiber materials have been investigated--crystals and glasses. Crystal fiber work appears to be focused on development of short haul CO/sub 2/ laser power delivering lines at 10.6 µm.

In this work an integrated tunable optofluidic liquid core-liquid cladding (L2) optical fiber is presented. The device has been realized by exploiting an innovative three-dimensional hydrodynamic focusing scheme. A tunable circular liquid core has been obtained that is located in the center of the channel, regardless of the flow rate ratio of the ...

Methods of controllable, noncontact rotation of optically trapped microscopic objects have garnered significant attention for tomographic imaging and microfluidic actuation. Here, we report development of a fiber-optic spanner and demonstrate controlled rotation of smooth muscle cells. The rotation is realized by introducing a transverse offset between

Optical fibers are by far the most attractive elements with which to create optical systems in the medical or biological applications of light. They are usually made up of long, thin glass rods that turn out to be very easy to handle. Moreover, their thinness and flexibility allow reaching inaccessible regions in the body without pain and discomfort to

Analysis of the geometry of recursive tilings has led to the development of a new class of highly ordered optical composites that exhibit fractal surface character. These objects are, we believe, the first engineered fractal objects. The mathematics of tiling and examples of fractal fiber array devices are reviewed.

The Fourier transform of a coherent optical image can be evaluated physically by use of a single lens plus free-space propagation, thereby providing the basis for the field of Fourier optics. I point out that one can similarly evaluate the discrete Fourier transform of a sampled or pixelated optical array physically by passing the discrete array ...

In the preceding chapter it was shown that, under ideal conditions, a light wave in a dielectric material would form an envelope soliton. However, in a real three-dimensional fiber, the light wave propagates with finite loss. In this chapter, we discuss the practical conditions needed for an optical pulse to become a soliton in a dielectric waveguide.
