Highly birefringent optical microfibers.
Highly birefringent (Hi-Bi) air-clad silica microfibers (MFs) with wavelength and sub-wavelength scale transverse dimensions are studied theoretically and experimentally. Hi-Bi MFs are taper-drawn from the standard SMF-28 single mode fibers that are "pre-processed" by "cutting away" parts of the silica cladding on opposite sides of the fiber with a femtosecond infrared laser. Such Hi-Bi MFs hav...
متن کاملPolarization converters in highly birefringent microfibers.
A novel type of polarization converters (PCs) based on highly birefringent (Hi-Bi) microfibers is presented. Analytical formulation based on the Jones Matrix method and a numerical code based on the Full Vectorial Finite Difference Beam Propagation Method are developed to analyze the polarization evolutions in such PCs. Two different design configurations, namely the "one-side" and "two-side" p...
متن کاملHighly birefringent 98-core fiber.
We report on the fabrication and characterization of a polarization-maintaining multicore fiber. The fiber has 98 aligned cores, each with a birefringence of ≈2.3×10-4. The beat length, polarization extinction ratio, and polarization orientation are characterized.
متن کاملArtificially disordered birefringent optical fibers.
We develop and experimentally verify a theory of evolution of polarization in artificially-disordered multi-mode optical fibers. Starting with a microscopic model of photo-induced index change, we obtain the first and second order statistics of the dielectric tensor in a Ge-doped fiber, where a volume disorder is intentionally inscribed via UV radiation transmitted through a diffuser. A hybrid ...
متن کاملHighly birefringent colloidal particles for tracer studies
We report on the preparation and characterization of highly birefringent, monodisperse colloidal particles with sizes between 100 nm and some micrometres made by emulsification of a reactive acrylate monomer in aqueous solution. Photopolymerization of the emulsion droplets in the liquid crystalline state results in particles with frozen orientational order. Particles that had not been polymeriz...
