Microstructured Optical Fiber Made From Biodegradable and Biocompatible Poly(…

We have fabricated and characterized microstructured biodegradable and biocompatible polymer optical fibers using commercially available poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA). We first report on the prepar…

Dual Band Active Nanostructured Core Fiber for Two-Color Fiber Laser Operation

We present the experimental verification of a new type of an active nanostructured fiber devoted to simultaneous laser emission at two wavelengths: 1040 nm and 1534 nm in the fundamental mode. The …

Polarization and Torsion Insensitive Fiber Bragg Grating Written in Polarizat…

We present first fiber Bragg grating (FBG) inscribed in polarization maintaining (PM) optical fiber with artificially anisotropic core achieved by an appropriate distribution of discrete germanium-…

Fusion Splicing of Silica Hollow Core Anti-Resonant Fibers With Polarization …

Fusion splicing of solid-core microstructured silica fibers has been one of the key enablers which opened practical applications of these structures in ultrafast light sources or fiber-based sensor…

Butt-Coupling of 4.5 μm Quantum Cascade Lasers to Silica Hollow Core Anti-Re…

We report on experimental characterization of butt-coupling between a quantum cascade laser operating around the wavelength of 4.5 μm and a silica hollow core anti-resonant fiber. The used fiber h…

On the Characterization of Novel Step-Index Biocompatible and Biodegradable p…

We report on the first step-index biodegradable polymer optical fiber (bioPOF) fabricated using commercially available polyesters, with a core made from poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) and a clad…

Dispersion Management in Hybrid Optical Fibers

We report a new fiber concept, which is a hybrid design between classical step-index and photonic crystal fibers (PFCs). The proposed structure has a centrally located Ge doped core surrounded by a…
