Photonic crystal fibers are a kind of fiber optics that present a diversity of new and improved
features beyond what conventional optical fibers can offer. Due to their unique geometric …

This study reports a method for humidity sensing based on a specialty microstructured
optical fiber (MOF). A suspended tri-core MOF was fabricated using the stack and draw …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to show that novel photodynamic therapy (PDT)
sensitizers can be activated by two-photon absorption in the near-IR region of the spectrum …

We designed, manufactured and characterized two birefringent microstructured fibers that
feature a 5-fold increase in polarimetric sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure compared to the …

We report on enhanced torsion sensitivity by using a highly birefringent photonic crystal fiber
(HB-PCF)-based Sagnac interferometer. In order to increase the torsion sensitivity, we …

An all fiber Mach-Zehnder interferometer using suspended twin-core fiber is described. Due
to the birefringence of the fiber cores, two interferometers are obtained when the fiber is …

A high-performance photonic crystal fiber sensor for sulfuric acid detection is designed and
investigated, undertaken through a full vector Finite Element Method on COMSOL …

A fiber-optic Fabry-Perot sensing structure based on the utilization of a suspended-core fiber
is presented. The interferometric structure is formed when a small length of the suspended …

In this paper we present experimental results of polarization properties of photonic liquid
crystal fibers, also with permanent anisotropy achieved by using photo-aligning layers within …

Elliptically birefringent fibre has been fabricated by spinning the preform of a highly linearly
birefringent photonic crystal fibre (PCF) during the drawing process. The resulting Spun …
