A review of optical fiber sensing demonstrations based on photonic crystal fibers is
presented. The text is organized in five main sections: the first three deal with sensing …

We review the research on photonic crystal fiber modal interferometers with emphasis
placed on the characteristics that make them attractive for different sensing applications. The …

Photonic crystal fibers, also known as microstructured or holey fibers, have recently
generated great interest in the scientific community thanks to the new ways provided to …

We investigate the microhole collapse property of different photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) and
its effect on the splice loss using an electric arc fusion splicer. The physical mechanism of …

An optical fiber fusion splice is a permanent joint between two fibers that enables the optical
signal, an electromagnetic wave, to pass from one fiber to another. At a fusion splice, the …

A simple method for fabricating selective injection microstructured optical fibers (MOFs)
using a conventional fusion splicer is described. The effects of fusion current, fusion duration …

We proposed a photonic crystal fiber based Mach–Zehnder interferometer with regular and
high-contrast fringe pattern, which is fabricated by splicing a section of photonic crystal fiber …

The difficulty of fusion splicing hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber (PBGF) to conventional
step index single mode fiber (SMF) has severely limited the implementation of PBGFs. To …

We report a compact and stable all-microstructured-optical-fiber interferometer built with two
fusion splices separated a few centimeters from each other. The air-holes of the fiber are …

From basic physics to new products, Silica Optical Fiber Technology for Device and
Components examines all aspects of specialty optical fibers. Moreover, the inclusion of the …
