To estimate the acoustic plasma energy in laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) experiments, a light collecting and acoustic sensing device based on a coil of plastic optical fiber (POF) is proposed. The speckle perturbation induced by the plasma acoustic energy was monitored using a CCD camera placed at the end of a coil of multimode POF and processed with an intraimage contrast ratio method. The results were successfully verified with the acoustic energy measured by a reference microphone. The proposed device is useful for normalizing LIBS spectra, enabling a better estimation of the sample's chemical composition.

This paper reviews the theoretical analysis of light propagation we have carried out on multimode multi-step index (MSI) optical fibres. Starting from the Eikonal equation, we derive the analytical expressions that allow calculating the ray trajectories inside these fibres. We also analyse the effects of leaky rays on the transmission properties of MSI fibres. For this purpose, a single analytical expression for the evaluation of the ray power transmission coefficient is calculated. Afterwards, we investigate the effects of extrinsic and intrinsic coupling losses on the performance of MSI fibres, providing analytical expressions to calculate the coupling loss and, also, determining the most critical parameters. Finally, we carry out a comprehensive numerical analysis of the fibre bandwidth under different source configurations.Cross-section photographs of two different MSI-POFs (left: Eska-Miu fibre; right: TVER fibre).

“…For highperformance short-distance communication, such as local-area networks (LANs), multi-node bus networks plastic or digital car networks, industrial control, plastic optical fibers (POFs) are often considered as best choice ((Golowich et al, 2003), (Ishigure et al, 2000), (Green, 1996), (Koeppen et al, 1998)). This is based upon their low cost, ease of manipulation and high bandwidth.…”

Time-dependent power flow equation is employed to calculate frequency response and bandwidth of low numerical aperture step-index optical fiber excited with Gaussian-like light source with large width. Both, frequency response and bandwidth, are specified as function of the fiber length measured from the input end of the fiber. Analytical and numerical solutions are compared and good agreement between results is obtained.
