Side-polished SMS based RI sensor employing macro-bending perfluorinated POF
Opto-Electronic Advances, 2021 A refractive index (RI) sensor based on perfluorinated plastic optical fiber (PF-POF) is introduced in this paper. The PF-POF as multi-mode fiber was side-polished (SP) to form a macro-bending single-mode-multimode-single-mode (SMS) structure.

Bend-Direction and Rotation Plastic Optical Fiber Sensor
Sensors, 2020 A plastic filament of poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was fabricated by extrusion. The mode confinement was simulated using numerical software. The idea is to study how the light intensity changes inside the plastic optical fiber (POF) when a bending ...

Intrinsically Stabilized Plastic Optical Fiber Link Subject to External Optical Feedback
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2019 We develop a graded-index plastic optical fiber (GI POF) that can significantly stabilize a multimode fiber (MMF) link with a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) subject to external optical feedback.
