Micromachining structured optical fibers using focused ion beam milling
C. Martelli, P. Olivero, J. Canning +3
A focused ion beam is used to mill side holes in air-silica structured fibres. By way of example, side holes are introduced in two types of air-structured fibres (1) a photonic cry…
Air-structured optical fibre drawn from a 3D-printed preform
Kevin Cook, John Canning, Sergio Leon-Saval +5
A structured optical fibre is drawn from a 3D-printed structured preform. Preforms containing a single ring of holes around the core are fabricated using filament made from a modif…
Step-index optical fibre drawn from 3D printed preforms
Kevin CooK, Geoffrey Balle, John Canning +7
Optical fibre is drawn from a dual-head 3D printer fabricated preform made of two optically transparent plastics with a high index core (NA ~ 0.25, V > 60). The asymmetry observed…
