Theoretical analysis for exploring the optical performance of solid-core polymer based microstructured optical fibers
摘要： Polymer based microstructured optical fibers (MPOFs) like their silica counterparts guides the light through the use of array of wavelength-scale microstructures in the cross-section, and offers pivotal dominance over both polymer optical fibers (POFs) as well as air/silica microstructured optical fibers (MOFs). We aspire to investigate the optical characteristics of the solid-core MOFs based on polymer material by using an efficient theoretical model. Theoretical evidences to demonstrate that fiber support only single mode are explored and cut-off conditions are identified. We evaluate the effective index of higher-order mode (HOM) for the solid-core MPOF at terahertz (THz) regime, and the coupling properties of long-period gratings (LPGs) in MPOF are also examined. Further, the sensitivity coefficient is studied for realizing the efficient coupling in the evanescent field based applications. Theoretical results are compared with those as reported in the literature. Relative errors are also included.

High birefringence and polarization-holding ability in nanosized optical fibers with Si bowtie cores
摘要： The focus of this study was mainly on the birefringence of nanosized bowtie-shaped slot core fibers that can transport ultrasmall optical spots. Here we showed large birefringence for the fibers reaching as high as 0.33, which is three orders of magnitude greater than normal-sized birefringent fibers, the main cause of which being the impact of geometrical birefringence arising from significant differences between the orthogonal modal distributions. Moreover, we investigated the polarization maintaining property for acute-angled bending in a 5-μm fiber and demonstrated slight degradations of less than 5 dB for the extinction ratio in a 180? bend, which was several orders of magnitude lower than the ratio for the fiber without bending. We used computer simulations for the estimates presented in this study. We believe that the high-polarization maintaining performance presented herein will be required for nanosized optical sensing probes and interconnections in photonic integrated circuits.

Nanoscale lighta??matter interactions in metala??organic frameworks cladding optical fibers
摘要： The utilization of refractive index (RI) change due to guest–host interactions between the guest volatile organic compound vapor and porous metal–organic frameworks (vapor–MOF interactions) is promising in photonic vapor sensors. Therefore, the study of light–matter interactions in nanoporous metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) is fundamental and essential for MOF-based photonic devices. In this work, the manipulation of light in MOFs to investigate the vapor–MOF interactions by using optical fiber devices is demonstrated. The vapor–MOF interactions and the light–vapor interactions (light in MOFs to sense the RI changes resulting from the vapor–MOF interactions) are investigated. The cladding mode is excited by a long-period fiber grating (LPFG) for evanescent field sensing in a ZIF-8 sensitive coating. The experimental results combining quantum chemical calculations and optical simulations reveal the relationships between the microscopic energy of vapor desorption, RI changes and evanescent field enhancement in ZIF-8 during the vapor–MOF interactions. With exceptionally large RI changes, the evanescent field of cladding mode in ZIF-8 is greatly enhanced to sense the vapor–MOF interactions. As a proof-of-concept, a LPFG sensor with ZIF-8 coating showed a high sensitivity of 1.33 pm ppm?1 in the linear range from 9.8 ppm to 540 ppm for the sensing of ethanol vapor. The investigation of light–matter interactions in ZIF-8 provides a useful guideline for the design and fabrication of MOF-based optical waveguide/fiber sensors.

The effect of short glass fibers on the process behavior of polyamide 12 during selective laser beam melting
摘要： In additive manufacturing, polymer composites are used for setting tailored properties. Short glass fibers can be used as fillers for polyamide 12 for enhancing stiffness or tensile strength as well as for reducing shrinkage. In this paper, the effects of short glass fibers on polyamide 12 concerning powder properties, process behavior and part properties in laser beam melting of polymers (SLS) are investigated. It could be shown that by increasing the short glass fiber content powder properties as well as part properties are immensely affected. By adding glass fibers, powder properties, like flowability and diffuse reflection decrease. The isothermal crystallization changes resulting in a narrower processing window. Concerning mechanical properties, short glass fibers allow for a higher stiffness until a critical limit of filler concentration within this study is reached, after which the tensile strength decreases. The elongation of break decreases by rising the filler content.

N,S-self-doped carbon quantum dots from fungus fibers for sensing tetracyclines and for bioimaging cancer cells
摘要： In this work, nitrogen and sulfur dual-doped carbon quantum dots (N,S-CDs) from naturally renewable bio-material fungus fibers were prepared by a biosynthesis and hydrothermal method. The N,S-CDs displayed good water solubility, excellent stability, high quantum yield (QY = 28.11%) as well as remarkable features for fluorescence quenching-based detection and cellular imaging of cancer cells. It was worth mentioning that the heteroatoms doped carbon quantum dots made from the fungus fibers had a satisfactory QY and could be used as a selective, efficient, and sensitive fluorescent probe to determine tetracyclines by the synergistic effects of static quenching and internal filtration effect. The probe demonstrated a wide linear range and low detection limit. For tetracycline, the linear range was 0.5 μM to 47.6 μM, and the corresponding detection limit was 15.6 nM. Significantly, the test papers prepared by using N,S-CDs could detect tetracyclines in aquiculture wastewater rapidly. The produced N,S-CDs did not affect the cell viability and showed great promises for cellular imaging.

The Influence of Structural Parameters on the Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensor Based on a Side-polished Macrobending Plastic Optical Fiber
摘要： In this paper the influences of the structured parameters, namely, metal layer thickness, polished depth, macrobending radius and polished angle on the refractive index sensing performances for the side-polished macrobending plastic optical fibers (POFs) based surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensors were investigated. A simple and controllable rotary grinding technique was introduced to fabricate the proposed sensor. The performances of sensitivity, resolution and full width at half maximum (FWHM) were evaluated. The results have demonstrated that the SPR sensor performances could be improved by changing the structural parameters, and the highest sensitivity obtained was 4793.1 nm/RIU when the external refractive index was 1.410. The proposed POFs based SPR sensors are easy fabrication, robust, and compact in size, which are useful for chemical and biological sensing.

摘要： In this paper, we review recent progress on space division multiplexed (SDM) transmission and our proposal of dense SDM (DSDM) with more than 30 spatial channels toward capacities beyond petabit/s. Furthermore, we discuss the requirements for realizing long-haul DSDM transport systems using multicore and/or multimode fiber, including power and space efficient amplification schemes, the use of fibers with large effective areas and transmission lines with low intercore crosstalk, low differential mode delay (DMD), and low mode dependent loss (MDL). Graded index heterogeneous 12-core × 3-mode fiber with low crosstalk, low DMD, and low MDL, parallel multiple-input and multiple-output signal processing, low mode dependent gain Erbium-doped fiber amplifiers, and MDL equalization technologies are significant as regards extending the reach of multicore and multimode transmission. We review our long-distance transmission experiment on polarization-division multiplexed 16-quadrature amplitude modulation signaling over 12-core × 3-mode fiber.

Milliwatt-Level Spontaneous Emission Across the 3.5a??8 ?μm Spectral Region from Pr3+ Doped Selenide Chalcogenide Fiber Pumped with a Laser Diode
摘要： A spontaneous emission fiber source operating in the mid-infrared (MIR) wavelength range from 3.5 to 8 μm is demonstrated for the first time at output power levels of at least 1 mW. The source is a Pr3+-doped selenide chalcogenide, multimode, glass fiber pumped with commercially available laser diodes operating at 1.470 μm, 1.511 μm and 1.690 μm. This MIR spontaneous emission fiber source offers a viable alternative to broadband mid-infrared supercontinuum fiber sources, which are comparatively complex and costly. The MIR emission wavelength range is significant for molecular sensing applications across biology and chemistry, and in medicine, agriculture, defense, and environmental monitoring.

A Refractive Index Sensor Based on H-Shaped Photonic Crystal Fibers Coated with Ag-Graphene Layers
摘要： An Ag‐graphene layers‐coated H‐shaped photonic crystal fiber (PCF) surface plasmon resonance (SPR) sensor with a U‐shaped grooves open structure for refractive index (RI) sensing is proposed and numerically simulated by the finite element method (FEM). The designed sensor could solve the problems of air‐holes material coating and analyte filling in PCF. Two big air‐holes in the x‐axis produce a birefringence phenomenon leading to the confinement loss and sensitivity of x‐polarized light being much stronger than y‐polarized. Graphene is deposited on the layer of silver in the grooves; its high surface to volume ratio and rich π conjugation make it a suitable dielectric layer for sensing. The effect of structure parameters such as air‐holes size, U‐shaped grooves depth, thickness of the silver layer and number of graphene layers on the sensing performance of the proposed sensor are numerical simulated. A large analyte RI range from 1.33 to 1.41 is calculated and the highest wavelength sensitivity is 12,600 nm/RIU. In the linear RI sensing region of 1.33 to 1.36; the average wavelength sensitivity we obtained can reach 2770 nm/RIU with a resolution of 3.61 × 10?5 RIU. This work provides a reference for developing a high‐sensitivity; multi‐parameter measurement sensor potentially useful for water pollution monitoring and biosensing in the future

Fabrication of gold nanorod arrays on a cylindrical surface of optical fibers by using in-situ electrodeposition
摘要： Optical fiber is an excellent light-coupled substrate, which has the characteristics of large a length-diameter ratio with a cylindrical surface. Recently, various methods have been reported in order to improve the ability of local optical fields. In particular, methods aimed to address the efficient coupling and optical resonances by modifying metal nanostructures on the light-coupled substrate have been developed. However, existing methods are largely applicable to planar or tip substrates, and it remains a significant challenge to prepare metal nanostructures on a cylindrical substrate. In this study, we proposed a novel strategy to fabricate gold nanorods arrays (AuNRs) by electrodepositing them in anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) templates on the cylindrical surface of optical fibers. Briefly, AAO templates were prepared in-situ by using a constant current density secondary oxidation method on the cylindrical surface of optical fibers, and then the AuNRs were in-situ deposited in the AAO templates by electrodeposition. The features of the AuNRs such as diameter, nanorod pitch, and height could be easily regulated by adjusting the parameters of electrodeposition and the anode oxidation. The SEM images demonstrates that AuNRs exhibit a satisfactory consistency with a uniform diameter and favorable self-supporting properties. The relationships between the current density, pore diameter and pore distribution were explored, combined with the voltage-time curve during anodic oxidation. Furthermore, the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) optical properties of the AuNRs on the cylindrical surface were analyzed using the Finite-difference Time-domain Algorithm (FDTD) method. Results suggest that this alternative in-situ electrodeposition strategy has the potentials to be applied to SPR optical fiber sensing.
