Non-silica microstructured optical fibers for mid-IR supercontinuum generation from 2 µm - 5 µm

, 2006
We have performed numerical simulations to investigate the optimization of compound glass microstructured optical fibers for mid IR supercontinuum generation beyond the low loss transmission window of silica, using pump wavelengths in the range 1.55-2.25

Approaches to mitigate polymer-core loss in plastic optical fibers: a review

, 2014
Within fiber optics, plastic optical fibers (POFs) have always had to take a back seat due to their relatively high loss. This kept them as a specialty fiber for illumination, sensing and low speed short data links.
