Helically twisted photonic crystal fibres
Recent theoretical and experimental work on helically twisted photonic crystal fibres (PCFs) is reviewed. Helical Bloch theory is introduced, including a new formalism based on the tight-binding approximation. It is used to explore and explain a variety of unusual effects that appear in a range of different twisted PCFs, including fibres with a single core and fibres with N cores arranged in a ...
متن کاملTensile Behavior of photonic crystal fibres
The mechanical strength and failure behavior of two photonic crystal silica optical fibers with different diameters were investigated using tensile test. The effect of polymer coating on the failure behavior was also studied. The results indicated that all fibers failed in a brittle manner and the failure normally initiated from fiber surfaces. The failure loads observed in the coated fibers ar...
متن کاملTapering of human nerve fibres.
To determine the tapering of human nerve fibres, rostral and caudal root pieces of cauda equina nerve roots were removed and nerve fibre diameter distributions were constructed for 4 myelin sheath thickness ranges for the two sites, and compared with each other. The reduction of the group diameter in the different alpha-motoneuron groups was 0.2 % per 13 cm. Accounting for systematic errors, th...
متن کاملPhotonic crystal fibres for chemical sensing and photochemistry.
In this review, we introduce photonic crystal fibre as a novel optofluidic microdevice that can be employed as both a versatile chemical sensor and a highly efficient microreactor. We demonstrate that it provides an excellent platform in which light and chemical samples can strongly interact for quantitative spectroscopic analysis or photoactivation purposes. The use of photonic crystal fibre i...
متن کاملAnalysis of planewave methods for photonic crystal fibres
Photonic crystal fibres are novel optical devices that can be designed to guide light of a particular frequency. This requires two phenomena to occur. First, the frequency of light must be in a gap of the spectrum of the fibre’s cladding (usually a periodic arrangement of air holes), so that the cladding acts as a barrier to that frequency of light. Second, the perturbation or defect in the mid...
