Enhanced stability from co-resonant cavities in a monolithic array
Alexandra Crawford, Jacob Williamson, Robert Leonard +6
We demonstrate a micro-Fabry-Pérot cavity array through laser etching of high-surface-quality mirrors onto a single fused silica substrate. A cavity finesse of was a…

Simple Method for Stripping Polyimide-Coated Optical Fiber
Matthew Marshall, Jacob Williamson, Seth Hyra +2
We present a simple method for removing polyimide coatings from optical fibers using inexpensive and readily available solvents. Impacts of solvent mixing ratios, soak temperature,…

Characterization of Gradient Index Fibers
Robert Leonard, Matthew Marshall, Seth Hyra +3
Gradient index (GRIN) fibers are used to improve the design of many fiber optic devices. However, the properties of the GRIN fiber must be determined to optimally engineer a device…
