A process leading to a stunningly beautiful and distinctive propagating plasma emission in
optical fibers was discovered by the author 25 years ago. The genie that escaped its glass …

The propagation of an optical discharge (OD) along hollow-core optical fibers (HCFs) is
investigated experimentally. Silica-based revolver-type HCFs filled with atmospheric air …

We observe fiber fuse in tapered GeAsSe photonic crystal fibers (PCF) at around 7 MW/cm^
2 of intra-core intensity. Vertically cleaved facets from the un-tapered regions and the …

A fiber fuse is the continuous self-destruction of optical fiber induced and fed by propagating
light. It is triggered by the local heating of a waveguide structure through which a high power …

The unsteady-state thermal conduction process in single-mode (SM) optical fiber was
studied theoretically with the explicit finite-difference method (FDM). In the numerical …

Fiber fuse, a thermal destruction phenomenon, which propagates toward optical sources
and permanently damages optical fiber cores, connection points (connectors and splicing) …

Recently great interest has been aroused by the development of photonic crystal fibers
(PCFs)[1]–[98]. In PCFs, a microstructured or photonic crystal material forms the fiber …

There is serious concern in the telecommunication industry that the transmission capacity
limit may be reached in the near future. One reason for this is the fiber fuse phenomenon …

Hollow-core photonic crystal fibers (HC-PCFs) can guide light inside the hollow core by
photonic bandgap (PBG)[1] or inhibited-coupling (IC) mechanisms [2]. The confinement loss …

History and progress of the fiber fuse Page 1 Abstract In the 25th year almost to the day in
July, of my discovery of the low power damage in optical fiber also known as the fiber “fuse” …
