[IEEE 2019 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC) - Munich, Germany (2019.6.23-2019.6.27)] 2019 Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics Europe & European Quantum Electronics Conference (CLEO/Europe-EQEC) - Fabrication and Characterization of New Phosphate Glasses and Glass-Ceramics Suitable for Drawing Optical and Biophotonic Libers
摘要： Rare earth doped phosphate glasses are attractive materials for the engineering of photonic devices, due to their easy processing, good thermal stability, excellent optical properties and high rare-earth ions solubility [1]. Besides, phosphate glasses with a P2O5 content of 50 mol% have been shown to be suitable for fiber drawing. It is well known that if the rare-earth ions are located in crystalline phase of desired nature and structure, the spectroscopic properties of the glasses can be enhanced [2]. Therefore, efforts have been focused on the development of new glass-ceramics (GCS) obtained from the heat treatment of glasses, as these engineered materials possess some of the glass properties (large flexibility of composition and geometry) but also some advantages of the RE-doped single crystals (high absorption and emission as well as long lifetimes). In this presentation, we will first discuss how new active phosphate glasses can be prepared with a bioactivity functionality and their composition tailored to enhance their spectroscopic properties. We will show that the heat treatment does not necessarily lead to the bulk precipitation of rare-earth doped crystals (see figure 1). Therefore, we will present a new route to prepare rare-earth doped crystals containing glasses using the direct doping method (schematic presented in Figure 2). We will review the main challenge with this novel route of preparing glasses, related to the survival and dispersion of the particles in the glasses. Finally, we will demonstrate that some of the promising glasses can be drawn into optical fibers with broad luminescence over 70 nm of bandwidth and also into biophotonic fiber in the prospect of developing an innovative biosensor.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 8th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics and Lasers (CAOL) - Sozopol, Bulgaria (2019.9.6-2019.9.8)] 2019 IEEE 8th International Conference on Advanced Optoelectronics and Lasers (CAOL) - The Autoconvolution Method Use for Positioning Photonic Crystal Fibers
摘要： In this paper, the autoconvolution method was investigated to determine the position of the longitudinal axis of the photonic crystal fiber and to determine the center of the mode field in the cross section. Knowing the center of the PCF mode field, one can determine the cross section in which the diameter of the mode field will be maximal. This allows a more precise positioning of two identical PCF during connection. The proposed method allows improving the quality of the positioning of the PCF by transverse, angular, longitudinal displacements, and also by the mutual angle of rotation of the connected PCFs.

Sensing of Furfural by Molecularly Imprinted Polymers on Plasmonic and Electrochemical Platforms
摘要： The goal of this work is to test the possibility of selective detection of furfural (2-FAL) in aqueous solutions, with a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) receptor exploiting two different transduction methods, for food safety applications. In particular, sensors with electrochemical and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) transduction are considered. Two concentration ranges could be investigated by the different sensing approaches since the detectable concentration level depends on the sensitivity of the detection technique employed. The determination of 2-FAL at different concentration levels in the aqueous medium of interest, as for example beverages, is becoming a very crucial task not only for the relevance of furanic compounds in affecting the flavor but also for their possible toxic and carcinogenic effects on the human beings. For these reasons, their determination by a fast, easy and low-cost method is of interest. The sensor methods here proposed appears to be particularly suitable, since, although together and not individually, they allow the determination in a wide concentration range.

摘要： The idea of this paper is to utilize the advantages of the optical fibers over conventional wiring methods in order to construct a system for transmitting analog stereo audio signal. The main goal is to create a low-cost analog stereo audio transmitting system using one optical fiber, with sophisticated sound quality. The system was built for transmitting an analog audio signals over plastic optical fiber by applying multiplexing over wavelengths. This method enables the transmitting of two analog audio signals over a single optical fiber. As a result, the audio signal can be transmitted over long ranges and using only one transmitting medium. In comparison with coaxial wired analog audio systems, optical fiber wired analog audio system has better signal-to-noise ratio, better frequency response and wider bandwidth.

Eye safe emission in Tm3+/Ho3+ and Yb3+/Tm3+ co-doped optical fibers fabricated using MCVD-CDS system
摘要： The RE-co-doped silica optical fibers emitting in the eye-safe spectral range are still attractive for new applications like LIDAR, pollution monitoring, navigation, and free-space optical communication. High gain and beam quality of fiber sources based on large mode area (LMA) active fibers can be fabricated by the well-known Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition (MCVD) technology improved by the chelate doping system. Considering silica matrix, the most interesting co-dopants in the region above 1400 nm are thulium and holmium. In the paper Tm3t/Ho3t and Yb3t/Tm3t co-doped silica optical fibers (refractive index and rare earth distribution profile, luminescence) are presented. Their respective emission spectra has been measured over the range 1550–2150 nm for Tm3t/Ho3t (exc. at 796 nm) and 1600–2100 nm for Yb3t/Tm3t (exc. at 976 nm). A wide luminescent spectrum has been recorded from RE co-doping of silica glass during the MCVD process and we were able to achieve the appropriate and uniform concentration for getting the conditions of energy transfer. The fabrication and characterization of Tm3t/Ho3t and Yb3t/Tm3t co-doped optical fibres are presented. The analysis of luminescence spectrum changes vs. fibre length has shown that there is Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) at 1960 nm in Yb3t/Tm3t co-doped optical fibre. The possibilities of obtaining novel constructions of RE co-doped optical fibers for eye-safe emission region will be also shown.

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.

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.

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 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.
