Nondestructive measurement of refractive index profile for holey fiber preforms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A non-destructive technique is presented to determine the refractive index profile of holey fiber preforms. The holes are filled with index matching oil and the holey preform deflection data is measured. An improved optical path-length formula and back projection method is used to reconstruct the two-dimensional filled holey fiber preform refractive index distribution.

متن کاملTip sensor probe for changing refractive index measurement in small volumes
In this paper, a tapered tip optical fiber probe sensor for localized refractive index (RI) measurements is presented. This sensor’s interaction with analytes is confined to a few micro-meters which makes it a promising candidate for in-vivo or even intra-cellular RI monitoring. This tapered tip was simply fabricated by etching optical fiber with hydrofluoric acid to a conic shape with a sub-m...
متن کاملHoley Fibers for Low Bending Loss
Recently, broadband-access network has spread out rapidly, and Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) has showed a stable growth. Nevertheless, for the prevalence of additional FTTH, the so-called 'last one mile problem', which entails a huge cost for constructing optical fiber networks to end-users, has to be solved. To this end, it is necessary to improve economical efficiency of the products for network a...
متن کاملPhotonic crystal fiber tip interferometer for refractive index sensing.
In this paper we present an interferometer based on photonic crystal fiber (PCF) tip ended with a solid silica-sphere for refractive index sensing. The sensor is fabricated by splicing one end of the holey PCF to a single mode fiber (SMF) and applying arc at the other end to form a solid sphere. The sensor has been experimentally tested for refractive index and temperature sensing by monitoring...
متن کاملMeasuring the refractive-index profile of optical fibers by the cladding-mode near-field technique.
A new measurement system has been developed that simply determines the refractive-index profile of any optical fiber by analyzing the propagation of cladding modes. Measurement accuracy was verified by a comparison with the refractive near-field method, and a sufficient resolution level was achieved to produce the fine structural details in single-mode fibers.
