چکیده
Progress on microstructured polymer optical fibres (MPOFs), a new class of polymer fibres that were developed last year, will be presented, including various single-mode MPOFs, highly birefringent MPOF, twin-core MPOF, nonlinear MPOF, graded-index MPOF and hollow core MPOF, the latter case being where light is guided in an air core.

New 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.
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 کاملSolution 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 کاملCharacteristics of Multimode Microstructured POF Performance
Commercial acceptance of microstructured polymer optical fibres (MPOFs) is dependent on their delivery of an acceptable combination of loss and bandwidth. This paper describes recent advances in one attempt at quantifying multimode MPOF performance with a view to developing various graded index MPOFs (GIMPOFs) using structures made up of either air or polymer-filled holes.
متن کاملProduction and Characterization of Gelatine Based Electro-spun Nano-fibres as Burn Wound Dressings
Silver sulfadiazine is used to prevent and treat infections of second- and third-degree burns. It kills a wide variety of bacteria. In this study silver sulfadiazine was used in gelatin based electro-spun nano-fibers with various drug to polymer ratios (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 %). SEM, EDX and FTIR analysis showed that the continuous, bead-free, fine fibers containing silver sulfadiazine as an anti...
