Solution doping of microstructured polymer optical fibres.
Solution doping of microstructured polymer optical fibres [mPOF] is demonstrated, a technique which allows dopants to be introduced after polymerisation through the microstructure. Controlled diffusion is used to disperse the dopant uniformly across the fibre core, and the final concentration can be systematically varied by appropriate choice of conditions. We use this technique to produce a fi...
متن کاملPoling and Doping of Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibres
Unlike conventional Polymer Optical Fibre (POF), single -mode Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibre (MPOF) can easily be fabricated, as required for many nonlinear applications. It was demonstrated that tungsten electrodes for poling and measuring the electro -optic coefficient could be incorporated in the PMMA fibre during the draw process. Lengths of up to 70m of this fibre were produced. For...
متن کاملCleaving of microstructured polymer optical fibres
The issue of how best to cleave PMMAmicrostructured polymer optical fibres (mPOF) is addressed. The impact of the following parameters on the cleaving process is considered: (i) temperature of the cutting blade, (ii) temperature of the platen holding the fibre, (iii) time allowed for thermal equilibration between fibre and platen, (iv) blade speed, and (v) blade condition. The strong influence ...
متن کاملFuture Directions for Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibres
Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibres [MPOF] were first made in 2001, and subsequent development has aimed at exploiting the material and design opportunities they present. Most effort has been focused on developing approaches for high bandwidth MPOF, and investigating the properties of multimode microstructured fibres. We also consider new applications in endoscopy and photonic interconnects,...
متن کاملNew Possibilities with Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibres
Progress on microstructured polymer optical fibres (MPOFs), a new class of polymer fibres that were developed last year, will be presented, including single-mode MPOF, highly birefringent MPOF, twin-core MPOF, graded-index MPOF, ring-structured MPOF and photonic band gap MPOF, the latter case being where light can be guided in an air core.
