Abstract:Abstract.A novel fabrication method of elliptical-shaped preforms for polarization-maintaining fibers, developed using the VAD technology and based on the variation of the perform rotation velocity from zero to a maximum velocity in repeated cycles of 180°, allows modifying and controlling the preform geometry by choosing the process parameters, such as the maximum rotation velocity and the delay time on zero velocity positions. The effect of each process variable was studied through a mathematical modeling an… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
