“…In addition, based on the deviation of the above 10-ASC fiber from the ideal 10 parallel ASC fiber, it can be seen that fabricating a multiple parallel ASC fiber is not just a straightforward extension of the single-core fiber demonstrated by Kaiser [10,22]. The latter was a one-step fabrication from the preform to the fiber, because the fiber core was relatively large (diameter 5µm).…”

“…The sheet stacking method was inspired by the procedure of Kaiser used in the early 1970s to make the first single-material silica HF, i.e., a single-ASC HF [10,22]. In that work, the ensemble of the preform included a silica core rod with a diameter up to 1.5 mm, a polished silica supporting sheet with a thickness of 100 µm and a width of 6.5 mm, and a silica jacket tube with an inner diameter (ID) of 6.5 mm and an outer diameter (OD) of 10 mm.…”

“…With the invention of holey fibers (HFs) [10] it became possible to fabricate single-material optical fibers with air-filled microstructured cladding. Most HFs demonstrated to date have quite short and thick glass bridges between the air holes in the cladding.…”

We demonstrate the fabrication of a novel type of optical fibers with multiple parallel airsuspended cores by the sheet-stacking method. Using this technique we have constructed optical fibers with up to 10 parallel micron-size suspended cores. No extra scattering loss from the fabrication process was observed in a fabricated dual air-suspended core fiber. The sheetstacking method opens the way towards using a wide range of optical glasses for manufacturing multiple parallel suspended-core specialty optical fibers with novel optical functionalities such as dispersion tunability. Fusion splicing has also been successfully used to connect such a multiple core fiber with a conventional silica fiber.

“…The rotational symmetry within structured optical fibres such as suspended core fibres [1], photonic crystal fibres [2] and Fresnel fibres [3], introduces a challenge to grating writing not present when using conventional rotationally invariant solid fibres. High levels of scattered light arise from multiple interface reflections within the hole array and vary as the structure is rotated under illumination.…”

Abstract:The role of rotational alignment during grating writing is comprehensively examined by the measurement of core luminescence from a Ge-doped 12 ring photonic crystal fibre, computer simulation of transmission and, definitively, by inscription of gratings at three angles-0°, 30° and the optimum luminescent angle for this fibre, 21.5°. All experimental results were in accordance with each other and in agreement with simulation. Control of the rotational alignment of the fibre is demonstrably critical for reproducible grating writing.

A photonic crystal fiber (PCF), which is composed of small air holes running through the fiber length, has various kinds of unique features that cannot be realized in a standard single‐mode fiber. We cannot expect more advancement in optical fiber optics without PCFs. In this article, various important properties such as dispersion, mode‐field diameter, and the single‐mode property are reviewed. Also, applications such as dispersion‐compensating fibers, supercontinuum, and polarization‐maintaining fibers are explained.
