Monitoring techniques for the manufacture of tapered optical fibers [PDF]
The use of a range of optical techniques to monitor the process of fabricating optical fiber tapers is investigated. Thermal imaging was used to optimize the alignment of the optical system; the transmission spectrum of the fiber was monitored to confirm

Generation of the First-Order OAM Modes in Ring Fibers by Exerting Pressure Technology
We have proposed an effective method of generating the first-order orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes in ring fibers. The first-order OAM modes (L = ±1) can be represented as the linear superposition of the HE21even mode and the HE21odd mode ...

Topological photonic crystal fibers based on second-order corner modes [PDF]
Photonic crystal fibers represent one of the most active research fields in modern fiber optics. The recent advancements of topological photonics have inspired new fiber concepts and designs. Here, we demonstrate a new type of topological photonic crystal fibers based on second order photonic corner modes from the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model.

Operating penalties in single-fiber operation 10-Gb/s, 1024-way split, 110-km long-reach optical access networks [PDF]
We report for the first time optical signal-to-noise penalties which lead to performance degradations in single-fiber long-reach optical access networks when compared to identical dual-fiber systems.
