Single-Mode Perfluorinated Polymer Optical Fibers With Refractive Index of 1.34 for Biomedical Applications

We demonstrate a technique for the fabrication of single-mode perfluorinated polymer optical fiber (PPOF). The PPOF preform is composed of poly-methyl-methacrylate (PMMA)-based outer cladding and a graded-index multimode PPOF as the core. A photosensitive graded-index single-mode PPOF with a core diameter of about 6.6 $ mu{hbox {m}}$ and cladding diameter of 400 $ mu{hbox {m}}$ was fabricated. The fiber has a cutoff wavelength of 854 nm and exhibits single-mode characteristics at wavelengths of 1310 and 1550 nm. The transmission loss is less than 0.2 dB/m in the wavelength range of 1410–1540 nm and less than 0.5 dB/m for wavelengths up to 1610 nm, significantly less than the typical transmission loss of $sim$100 dB/m for PMMA fiber. Another important feature of the PPOF is its low refractive index of 1.34, close to aqueous solution of biomaterials, permitting strong optical coupling for biomedical applications.      

Transmission loss of a 125-μm diameter PANDA fiber with circularstress-applying parts

The transmission loss of a 125-μm diameter polarization-maintaining and absorption-reducing optical fiber (the PANDA fiber) with circular stress-applying parts (SAPs) has been investigated. The loss is calculated at a 1.55- μm wavelength for SAPs consisting of B₂O₃ doped silica glasses. The experimental measurements show the validity of the analysis. It is shown that, when the half distance between SAPs is more than 2.2 times the core radius, the additional transmission loss due to B₂O₃ absorption is less than 0.05 dB/km with normalized frequency of 2.2 to 2.4 and a B₂O₃ dopant concentration of 20 mol.%. As a result, it has been confirmed that transmission losses of 125-μm diameter PANDA fibers can be comparable to those of commercially available single-mode optical fibers

A Novel 3-D Microcavity Based on Bragg Fiber Dual-Tapers

In this paper, a novel 3-D microcavity based on Bragg fiber dual-tapers is proposed. The principle and characteristics of the Bragg fiber dual-taper are analyzed firstly, showing that the dual-taper can function as a fiber mirror. Its reflection and transmission can be adjusted by the design of taper structure parameters. Then, the structure of a 3-D microcavity composed by two Bragg fiber dual-tapers is investigated by the finite-difference time domain method. The relation between the cavity-mode wavelengths and the cavity lengths shows that it can be looked as a Fabry–PÉrot cavity, using the Bragg fiber dual-tapers as the mirrors. By proper design, a cavity-mode Q factor up to $4.0093times 10^{6}$ can be realized in this cavity. Its characteristics as narrowband filters are investigated, showing that its transmission spectrum has the shape of Lorenz curve and a finesse up to $10^{5}$ can be realized if cavity mode with a high Q factor is used. The analysis shows that high-quality 3-D light confinement can be realized in the proposed Bragg fiber dual-taper microcavity, which has great potential in high-efficiency light-emitting devices and small fiber components.

Polarization Maintaining Air-Core Bandgap Fibers for Terahertz Wave Guiding

A polarization-maintaining air-core bandgap polymer fiber is proposed for low-loss terahertz (THz) wave guiding. The polarized guided modes are confined in an asymmetric core by a bandgap of periodic arrangement of square holes with round corners in the cladding. The guiding properties, including transmission bandwidth, numerical aperture, phase-index birefringence, modal absorption loss, and bend loss, are systematically investigated. The influence of background polymers on guiding properties is demonstrated in detail. Numerical simulations reveal that, while maintaining a relatively high phase-index birefringence (of the order of 10^-3 ), the THz fiber shows a significant suppression of absorption loss of the background polymers (by a factor of more than 25) due to the bandgap effect that repels the modal power from the absorbent polymers. The proposed THz fiber has potential for guiding intense THz waves for polarization-sensitive applications.     

A Novel WDM Component Based on a Three-Core Photonic Crystal Fiber

A novel 1.31/1.55 $mu$ m wavelength-division demultiplexer based on a three-core photonic crystal fiber is proposed. The fiber is composed of a large central core and two up-doped cores with different core sizes. The large core is realized by the omission of seven airholes and the insertion of a down-doped rod in the center of fiber. The effective indexes of the two small cores are index matched with the large core at the wavelength of 1.31 and 1.55 $mu$m, respectively. Therefore, wavelength dependent coupling is realized in the three-core optical fiber. Numerical investigation demonstrates that crosstalk lower than ${-}30$ dB and polarization-dependent loss lower than 0.1 dB can be realized in one such fiber with a length of 22 mm.
