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-…
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…
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…
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…
