“…The diffracted orders (+1, −1) of the mask interfere in the plane of the fiber to produce a grating. Advances in fabrication technology have led to single excimer pulse writing techniques for gratings [111][112][113][114] and draw-tower production techniques [115]. A comprehensive review of this technology was recently published [116].…”

“…This technique is generally intended to [41]. The exposure has been done by scanning a beam across the fiber [42] or by employing interferometric techniques [43][44][45][46]. In the latter approach, the Bragg grating pitch is controlled either by adjusting the angle of intersection between the two writing beams, adjusting the wavelength of the laser acting as a writing source, by selecting a phase-mask with appropriate period of the mask's grating [46], or a combination of these three methods.…”

Mesoscale cavities in hollow-core waveguides for quantum optics with atomic ensembles

Single-mode hollow-core waveguides loaded with atomic ensembles offer an excellent platform for light-matter interactions and nonlinear optics at low photon levels. We review and discuss possible approaches for incorporating mirrors, cavities, and Bragg gratings into these waveguides without obstructing their hollow cores. With these additional features controlling the light propagation in the hollow-core waveguides, one could potentially achieve optical nonlinearities controllable by single photons in systems with small footprints that can be integrated on a chip. We propose possible applications such as single-photon transistors and superradiant lasers that could be implemented in these enhanced hollow-core waveguides.

“…Various factors are contributing to the lowering of the cost of grating fabrication, such as the expiration of key early patents and the ability to write gratings directly on the drawing tower during fibre manufacture 41 . However the combination of single transverse mode optical sources and the high precision (better than 1 part in a million) wavelength measurement needed to obtain microstrain resolution has tended to keep costs high.…”

Polymer photonic crystal fibres combine two relatively recent developments in fibre technology. On the one hand, polymer optical fibre has very different physical and chemical properties to silica. In particular, polymer fibre has a much smaller Young's modulus than silica, can survive higher strains, is amenable to organic chemical processing and, depending on the constituent polymer, may absorb water. All of these features can be utilised to extend the range of applications of optical fibre sensors. On the other hand, the photonic crystal -or microstructured -geometry also offers advantages: flexibility in the fibre design including control of the dispersion properties of core and cladding modes, the possibility of introducing minute quantities of analyte directly into the electric field of the guided light and enhanced pressure sensitivity. When brought together these two technologies provide interesting possibilities for fibre sensors, particularly when combined with fibre Bragg or long period gratings. This paper discusses the features of polymer photonic crystal fibre relevant to sensing and provides examples of the applications demonstrated to date.
