Surface plasmon resonance fiber detects chamber wall conditions via evanescent waves, replacing mechanical refocusing with stable optical access.
Two-photon polymerization fabricates complex geometries directly onto cleaved fiber tips, reducing misalignment sensitivity and improving extinction ratios.
High loss sensor fibers replace complex interferometers to reduce device size and manufacturing cost while maintaining detection sensitivity.
A few-mode optical fiber link combines fibers with opposite differential mode group delay slopes to minimize net delay.
Segmented LED arrays and compound parabolic reflectors resolve curing uniformity versus intensity trade-offs in optical fiber manufacturing.
A variable optical attenuator emits light from multi-core fibers into space to separate and individually adjust each beam.
Segmented cladding cavities suppress light leakage, reducing transmission loss below 0.1 dB/km.
Uniform grating features spaced by local minima of a superposition function resolve spectral line shifts caused by aspect-ratio dependent etching.
