Electrically driven motion of micro-fluids in air-silica microstructure fiber: application to tunable filter/attenuator
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach for manipulating light in an optical fiber where efficient modal field interaction is achieved between modes propagating in an air-silica microstructure optical fiber and micro-fluids incorporated in the air-holes of the fiber. We demonstrate this apporach in terms of applications to tunable devices.

Compact tunable filter based on microfiber Bragg grating
Tunable filters for wavelength-division multiplexing transmission system are essential. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is one of the best candidates for this application. The wavelength shift of FBGs can be tuned by applying different temperature, hydrostatically pressure and strains (in traction or/and compression). A comprehensive study of using these three parameters as being tunable filters was ...
متن کاملA Comparison of the Microstructure of self compacting concretes containing nano and microsilica
Abstract Self compacting concrete (SCC) is a new construction material in the world. The aim of this research is to construct self compacting concrete with high compressive strength using combination of nano silica and micro silica. For this purpose, nano silica, micro silica, Portland cement type 2, superplasticizer (SP), and gravel and sand have been used. Three different groups of samples wi...
متن کاملIn-line single-mode fiber variable optical attenuator based on electrically addressable microdroplets
We report an in-line, fiber optic, broadband variable optical attenuator employing a side-polished, single-mode optical fiber integrated on a digital microfluidics platform. The system is designed to electrically translate a liquid droplet along the polished surface of an optical fiber using electrowetting forces. This fiber optic device has the advantage of no moving mechanical parts and lends...
متن کاملElectrically tunable hot-silicon terahertz attenuator
We have developed a continuously tunable, broadband terahertz attenuator with a transmission tuning range greater than 10. Attenuation tuning is achieved electrically, by simply changing the DC voltage applied to a heating wire attached to a bulk silicon wafer, which controls its temperature between room temperature and !550 K, with the corresponding free-carrier density adjusted between !10 cm...
متن کاملDispersion measurement of tapered air-silica microstructure fiber by white-light interferometry.
Dispersion properties of novel, tapered, air-silica microstructure fibers are measured between 1.3 and 1.65 microm by white-light interferometry. Dispersion values (beta2) of -181 and -152 ps2/km were obtained for 2.2- and 3-microm core sizes, respectively, at lambda = 1.55 microm.
