Micro/Nanofibre Optical Sensors: Challenges and Prospects [PDF]
Sensors, 2018 Micro/nanofibres (MNFs) are optical fibres with diameters close to or below the vacuum wavelength of visible or near-infrared light. Due to its wavelength- or sub-wavelength scale diameter and relatively large index contrast between the core and cladding,

Interaction of two Rydberg atoms in the vicinity of an optical nanofibre
New Journal of Physics, 2023 We consider two rubidium atoms, prepared in the same S or P Rydberg states, near an optical nanofibre, and we determine their van der Waals interaction potential as a function of their separation along the nanofibre axis, their distance to the nanofibre ...

Chirality-selective optical transport of nanoparticles in the evanescent field of a nanofibre [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsSelective optical manipulation of nanoparticles according to their chirality is a challenge due to the relatively small size of the chirality-dependent optical force.

Determination of optical parameters of zinc oxide nanofibre deposited by electrospinning technique [PDF]
Journal of Taibah University for Science, 2017 Electrospun ZnO was deposited on a glass substrate from zinc acetate dihydrate (Zn(CH3COO)2.2H2O) with polyvinyl acetate (PVAc) polymer dissolved in N, N, dimethyl formamide (DMF) and annealed in the presence of oxygen until organic molecules were ...

Using optical nanofibres to mediate cold atom interactions [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2022 We discuss several recent advances related to optical nanofibres in cold atom systems, including two-colour dipole trap optimisation using an in-loop stochastic artificial neural network machine learner, upper bound limitations on Rydberg atom excitation

Nanostructured optical nanofibres for atom trapping
New Journal of Physics, 2014 We propose an optical dipole trap for cold, neutral atoms based on the electric field produced from the evanescent fields in a hollow, rectangular slot cut through an optical nanofibre.

High-power continuous-wave optical waveguiding in a silica micro/nanofibre
Light: Science & Applications, 2023 We demonstrate CW optical waveguiding in a silica MNF with power up to 13 W, making it possible for high-speed optomechanical driving of microparticles, and efficient second/third harmonic generation.
