This paper reviews the developmen t of an efficient mathematical model for the drawing of
optical fibres using extensional flow theory which is applicable for fibres of arbitrary …

The fabrication of hollow core microstructured fibers is significantly more complex than solid
fibers due to the necessity to control the hollow microstructure with high precision during the …

Diamond containing the nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center is emerging as a significant sensing
platform. However, most NV sensors require microscopes to collect the fluorescence signals …

Capillaries of many dimensions are fabricated and modified, for use across a wide range of
applications within analytical science. This extends from sample preparation and sample …

We propose a new method to accurately model the structural evolution of a microstructured
fiber (MOF) during its drawing process, given its initial preform structure and draw …

Microstructured optical fibres (MOFs) are fibres that contain an array of air holes that runs
through the whole fibre length. The hole pattern of these fibres can be customized to …

We report experiments on the drip** dynamics and jetting transitions that take place when
a liquid is injected vertically downwards at a constant flow rate, for wide ranges of the liquid …

We consider the role of heating and cooling in the steady drawing of a long and thin viscous
thread with an arbitrary number of internal holes of arbitrary shape. The internal holes and …

The use of channel pressurisation in drawing microstructured optical fibres (MOFs)
potentially allows for fine control of the internal structure of the fibre. By applying extra …

A series of six experiments drawing tubular fibres are compared to some recent
mathematical modelling of this fabrication process. The importance of fibre tension in …
