In-line higher order mode filters based on long highly uniform fiber tapers
This paper presents a simple and effective design of taper-based higher order mode (HOM) filters that can effectively remove HOMs from the few-mode fibers. For this purpose, a taper manufacturing technique that allows the production of long and highly uniform Read More …
All-fiber micromachined microcell
This Letter presents an open-path, all-fiber microcell and a micromachining method for its production. The proposed micromachining method utilizes the selective etching of a purposely designed phosphorus-doped fiber that is spliced in between two standard lead-in fibers. Microcells with various Read More …
Miniature micro-wire based optical fiber-field access device
This paper presents an optical fiber-field access device suitable for use in different in-line fiber-optics systems and fiber-based photonics components. The proposed device u tilizes a thin silica micro-wire positioned in-between two lead-in single mode fibers. The thin micro-wire acts Read More …
Nanowire-based refractive index sensor on the tip of an optical fiber
This letter presents a refractive index sensor created at the tip of an optical fiber that utilizes silica nanowire within a radius of between 225 nm and 600 nm, as a sensing element. Sensitivity in excess of 800 nm/RIU was Read More …
