Laser-assisted deposition of carbon nanotubes in optical fibers with multiparameter control
Ricardo E. da Silva, Cristiano M. B. Cordeiro
We demonstrate a new method to deposit carbon nanotubes (CNT) on optical fibers based on a syringe-loaded CNT solution axially aligned to the fiber tip. A laser generates an optica…
Laser-pumped drilling carbon nanotube vortex shock waves in optical fibers
Ricardo E. da Silva, Marcos A. R. Franco
We experimentally demonstrate laser-induced vortex shock waves formed by carbon nanotubes drilling optical fibers for the first time. Three samples of standard single-mode optical…
Ultrawide dynamic bandwidth modulation of an antiresonant nanoweb hollow-core fiber
Ricardo E. da Silva, Cristiano M. B. Cordeiro
We experimentally demonstrate an acoustically modulated antiresonant nanoweb hollow-core fiber (N-HCF) for the first time. The N-HCF contains two off-center air cores with a diamet…
Widely tunable dual acousto-optic interferometric device based on a hollow core fiber
Ricardo E. da Silva, Jonas H. Osório, Frédéric Gérôme +4
An all-fiber dual Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) based on an acoustically modulated hollow-core fiber (HCF) is experimentally demonstrated for the first time. By attaching an ac…
