Described herein are initial experimental details and properties of a silicon core, silica glass- clad optical fiber fabricated using conventional optical fiber draw methods. Such …
An all-fiber optical magnetic field sensor is demonstrated. It consists of a fiber Faraday rotator and a fiber polarizer. The fiber Faraday rotator uses a 2-cm-long section of 56-wt …
As performance demands continue to grow, many optical fibre systems are operating at progressively higher power levels. However, Brillouin scattering restricts continued power …
Some 175 years ago Michael Faraday discovered magnetic circular birefringence, now commonly known as the Faraday effect. Sensing the magnetic field through the influence …
Optical fibers have transformed our lives. Not only do they act as the pipeline through which information is transmitted around the globe, but they are also critical components in a …
