“…Optical birefringence in index-guiding photonic crystal fibers can be obtained by introducing a two-fold rotational symmetry into the fiber structure to obtain form birefringence [22][23][24], or by introducing stress-elements into the cladding to obtain stress-induced birefringence [25]. The fiber used in this experiment is a commercially available PCF of the same type as the one used in Ref.…”

Abstract:The effect of axial variations in acoustooptic phase-mismatch coefficient of a two-mode birefringent photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is studied experimentally using two different methods. The first method is to determine axial non-uniformities directly from the transmission spectrum, while the second method is to use acoustic pulses. Both methods are seen to be in good agreement. It is found that axial non-uniformities increase the coupling bandwidth significantly as compared to an axially uniform fiber. The effect of acoustic birefringence is also considered.

This paper proposes a method for adjusting light waves propagating in systems composed of photonic fibers, light sources and detection elements. The paper presents the properties of these connections in terms of the loss of signal transmission. Different fiber core areas were analyzed, and measurements of the mode-field diameters (MFDs) of selected fiber structures are presented. The study analyzed two types of LMA (Large Mode Area) fiber structures, and the mode-field diameters of these structures were measured on the basis of the radiation distribution obtained under near-field conditions. The results are compared to the values obtained for a SMF-28 single-mode fiber. The LMA structures analyzed in the paper are characterized by low sensitivity of the MFD parameter to the length of transmitted waves, which creates the possibility of their use as intermediate fibers when connecting optical fibers of different diameters. In the wavelength range from 800 nm to 1600 nm, a 3.5% MFD change was observed for the first investigated LMA structure, and a 1% change was observed for the second. In addition, measurements of the mode-field diameters were also made using the transverse offset method for comparison of the results.

“…Hydrostatic pressure sensors based on birefringent fibers are not compact since they usually need non-fiber components to detect the pressure-induced phase or use the fiber Sagnac interferometer with a relatively long sensing fiber. PCFs [28][29][30][31][32] are the great success in the history of optical fibers, which have achieved excellent properties in birefringence [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40], dispersion [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51], single polarization single mode [52][53][54], nonlinearity [55], and effective mode area [56][57][58], and also excellent performances in the applications of fiber lasers [59][60][61] and nonlinear optics [62][63][64][65] over the past several years. PCFs have also further improved optical fiber sensors and have been used for strain sensing [66], gas sensing [67], biochemical sensing [68], refractive index sensing [69] and temperature sensing [70].…”

Abstract-A novel hydrostatic pressure sensor based on a gold-coated fiber modal interferometer (FMI) is proposed and demonstrated. Two single mode fibers (SMFs) are spliced with a lateral offset which forms a single-end FMI. The single-end FMI is gold-coated to enhance the reflectivity and to avoid the influence of any unwanted light from getting into the sensor. Relative reflection spectra of the proposed FMIs with different sensing SMF lengths or different lateral offsets are experimentally investigated. A high hydrostatic pressure sensor test system is proposed for the testing of the proposed FMI pressure sensor. The performance of a gold-coated FMI pressure sensor based on a 12-mm sensing SMF has been experimentally investigated. The proposed pressure sensor has a sensing range from 0 to 42 MPa and a sensitivity of 53 pm/MPa.
