As a combination of fiber optics and nanotechnology, optical microfibers and nanofibers
(MNFs) have been emerging as a novel platform for exploring fiber-optic technology on the …

We report for the first time use of 3D-printed metal extrusion dies for the extrusion of an
optical material into an extrudate at elevated temperatures. Using lead-silicate glass as the …

The development of optical fibers with suspended cores has enabled the demonstration of a
range of powerful new techniques for chemical and biological sensing. Here the fabrication …

This paper presents a review of the development of optical fibers made of multiple materials,
particularly including silica glass, soft glass, polymers, hydrogels, biomaterials …

In this work, we present a simple yet highly effective surface plasmon resonance (SPR)
biosensor for refractive index (RI) detection in the range of near-infrared (IR). The PCF is …
