Infrared (IR) fibers offer a versatile approach to guiding and manipulating light in the IR
spectrum, which is becoming increasingly more prominent in a variety of scientific …

▪ Abstract The development of microstructured optical fibers has led to the realization of
many optical properties in fiber form that were not previously attainable. This chapter …

Hollow-core photonic crystal fibres have excited interest as potential ultra-low loss
telecommunications fibres because light propagates mainly in air instead of solid glass. We …

We report the fabrication of what are believed to be the first microstructured optical fibers
with uniformly oriented elliptical holes. A high degree of hole ellipticity is achieved with a …

The fabrication of hollow core microstructured fibers is significantly more complex than solid
fibers due to the necessity to control the hollow microstructure with high precision during the …

The efficient and accurate fabrication of Microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) requires a
practical understanding of the 'draw process' beyond what is achievable by trial and error …

We propose a nested U-shape tube anti-resonant hollow core fiber (UARF) that can
effectively reduce the confinement loss (CL) as well as the loss oscillations. The key …

We propose a new method to accurately model the structural evolution of a microstructured
fiber (MOF) during its drawing process, given its initial preform structure and draw …

Microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) achieve their desired performance via a pattern of
holes that run along the length of the fiber. Varying the hole pattern allows a variety of optical …

In drawing microstructured optical fibers (MOFs), the cross-sectional hole structure, including
holes' relative size and shape, in a finished fiber drawn down from a preform can be different …
