“…High transparency and well-developed processing technology of PMMA make it a good candidate for low-cost optical components and optical fibres fabrication (Miluski et al 2016a, b). The step/gradient index and microstructured optical fibers can be fabricated using PMMA host (Miluski et al 2016b;Tama et al 2010;Bundalo et al 2014;Kailasnatha et al 2008;Oliveira et al 2015;Huang et al 2004;Barton et al 2004). Moreover, the guiding properties of optical fibres can be used to obtain some specific advantages: optical signal amplification, amplified spontaneous emission (ASE), and energy transfer (Karimi et al 2004;Dorosz et al 2012;Arrue et al 2011;Ayesta et al 2011;Nihei et al 1996).…”

The article presents fabrication and spectroscopic characterization of 7-(Diethylamino)coumarin doped polymeric fibre. The poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was chosen as it assures direct doping possibility and excellent optical properties in fluorescence spectrum of used dye. The fabricated polymer exhibits an intense luminescence (at dye concentration 1.2 9 10 -4 mol/l) in the range 505-537 nm (exc. 405 nm). Moreover, he coumarin doped PMMA fibre 600/1200 lm (doped core/cladding) fibre was fabricated and characterized. Presented fluorescence spectrum modification possibility can be used for new optical fibre construction optimization.

“…POF development also focused on microstructured designs, with considerable progress in the manufacture of microstructured POF (mPOF) [4]. The geometry of this type of fiber provides different properties compared to a stepindex fiber, such as an endlessly single-mode, air-guiding operation, and the ability to expose the electric field of the guided mode to substances contained within the holes.…”

The present work addresses the control of the mPOF Bragg grating spectrum properties through acousto-optic modulation. For the first time, the interaction of a flexural acoustic wave, generated by longitudinal excitation of different frequencies, with the Bragg grating will be presented. Also it will be demonstrated the quasi linear relationship between PZT load and maximum reflected power/ 3dB bandwidth of the reflected spectrum.

“…As mPOF fabrication is based on preform drilling it assures more flexibility in shaping fiber geometry than the stack and draw approach. Fibers with symmetry other than hexagonal can be fabricated [16], including structures with concentric rings of holes [17], dual core mPOF [18,19], elliptical core mPOF [20], mPOF with elliptical holes in the cladding [21] and hollow core mPOF [22]. The possibility of fabrication of Bragg gratings and long period gratings in mPOF was also demonstrated and several sensing applications of such elements have been already studied [23,24].…”

Abstract:We experimentally characterized a birefringent microstructured polymer fiber of specific construction, which allows for single mode propagation in two cores separated by a pair of large holes. The fiber exhibits high birefringence in each of the cores as well as relatively weak coupling between the cores. Spectral dependence of the group and the phase modal birefringence was measured using an interferometric method. We have also measured the sensing characteristics of the fiber such as polarimetric sensitivity to hydrostatic pressure, strain and temperature. Moreover, we have studied the effect of hydrostatic pressure and strain on coupling between the cores. 23-33 (1990). 32. W. Xu, X. F. Yao, H. Y. Yeh, and G. C.
