Generalized Method to Describe the Propagation of Pulses in Classical and Specialty Optical Fibers
The comprehension of pulsed light propagation is of paramount importance in fiber optics. Here, we present a general method to describe the propagation of pulses in any kind of optical fiber, regardless of its fabrication process or constituent materials.

Enhanced Optical Fiber Lasers and Optical Fiber Sensors Assisted by Micro-drilled Optical Fibers
Enhanced OFS assisted by micro-drilled optical fibers acting as mirrors are demonstrated. Strain sensitivity improved more than one order of magnitude in comparison with FBG sensors using a 50 μm-waist micro-drilled taper as distributed reflector.

Optical router for optical fiber sensor networks based on a liquid crystal cell [PDF]
Optical fiber sensor networks are evolving rapidly. They are used because of the inert nature of optical fibers allowing no electromagnetic interference and safe applications in inflammable atmospheres; other relevant characteristics are their low ...

Microbend fiber-optic sensor [PDF]
Intensity modulation induced by microbending in multimode fibers is considered as a transduction mechanism for detecting environmental changes such as pressure, temperature, acceleration, and magnetic and electric fields. A generic microbend sensor has been defined and studied, and its components, such as sensing fiber, light source, optical fiber ...

The role of semiconductors in the future of optical fibers
Semiconductors-core optical fibers have gathered attention for light guidance in the infrared spectrum. Cladded with glasses, fibers can be the ideal medium to transfer the favorable bulk properties of semiconductors into the micro/nano scaled one ...

Experimental stress-strain analysis of tapered silica optical fibers with nanofiber waist
We experimentally determine tensile force-elongation diagrams of tapered optical fibers with a nanofiber waist. The tapered optical fibers are produced from standard silica optical fibers using a heat and pull process. Both, the force-elongation data and

Optical fiber coupling method and apparatus [PDF]
Systems are described for coupling a pair of optical fibers to pass light between them, which enables a coupler to be easily made, and with simple equipment, while closely controlling the characteristics of the coupler.
