Selective excitation of LP01 mode in multimode fiber using solid-core photonic crystal fiber

To address the overwhelming bandwidth increase in premise backbones, an attractive alternative for selective mode excitation in multimode fiber (MMF) using solid-core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is presented. The power coupling efficiency, differential mode delay, and bit-error rate performance of several structural designs of solid-core PCF waveguides are investigated for the selective excitation of mode LP01 in a MMF. The achieved coupling efficiency into mode LP01 is above 90% for PCF profiles with seven rings.

An optical channel modeling of a single mode fiber

The evaluation of the optical channel model that accurately describes the single mode fibre as a coherent transmission medium is reviewed through analytical, numerical and experimental analysis. We used the numerical modelling of the optical transmission medium and experimental measurements to determine the polarization drift as a function of time for a fixed length of fibre. The probability distribution of the birefringence vector was derived, which is associated to the ‘Poole’ equation. The theory and experimental evidence that has been disclosed in the literature in the context of polarization mode dispersion – Stokes & Jones formulations and solutions for key statistics by integration of stochastic differential equations has been investigated. Besides in-depth definition of the single-mode fibre-optic channel, the modelling which concerns an ensemble of fibres each with a different instance of environmental perturbation has been analysed.

Distributed light delivery and detection via single optical fiber and tilted grating

A passive fiber-optic-based device is designed and analyzed, capable of delivering and detecting light separately or simultaneously at discrete points of interest along the optical axis of a fiber. This goal is achieved by implementation of multiple finite-length tilted gratings inside the core of a single-mode fiber. Each grating is tuned to function as a leaky electromagnetic resonator that resonates at particular wavelength and partially radiates the optical power to the medium surrounding the fiber. First, the basic element of such radiators is theoretically analyzed and a sequence of justifiable approximations are presented to measure the characteristic parameters of the system. Next, a set of equations are developed to provide a logical procedure for the design. This device has several potential applications in the field of fiber optic sensors. Few practical examples of such applications, particularly for optical stimulation of cells and fluorescence signal recording in sensitive tissues including the brain, are studied.

Analytical and experimental studies on asymmetric bundle fiber displacement sensors

A fiber-optic displacement sensor (FODS) is theoretically and experimentally studied using an asymmetrical bundled fiber. The bundled fiber consists of two parallel fibers with different core radial ratios (CRRs) to achieve different sensitivity and dynamic range for displacement measurements. Both analytical modeling and experimental observations show that the linear range and sensitivity can be adjusted by controlling the CRR between transmitting and receiving fibers. This increases the flexibility of the sensor, which can be used for precise non-contact sensing applications.

Improved single mode property in elliptical air hole photonic crystal fiber

The single mode property of a holey, index-guided two-dimensional photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is investigated using the alternate direction implicit method. The modal analysis of a three-ring elliptical air hole photonic crystal fiber is performed and compared with the equivalent three-ring circular air hole photonic crystal fiber keeping the air-fill fraction the same for both cases. The fiber is investigated for single mode operation. The effect of the rotation of the ellipse axes on these characteristics is also considered. It is observed that a PCF with elliptical air holes exhibits a better single mode property over a wider wavelength range in the optical domain. Also when the diameter of the air hole is properly catered for, they can show an endlessly single mode property.
