Abstract A hollow-core photonic bandgap fiber (HC-PBF) with high relative sensitivity and low confinement loss was designed. Some destructive circumstance such as propagation losses and mode interference can disrupt performance of the PBF. By considering optimum size of the hollow-core radius, we were able to improve confinement loss and the relative sensitivity. By optimization of the shape and size of the closest row of air holes to the hollow core, the quality of the mode distribution in the hollow-core was well improved. Simulation results confirm that, at an optimal and reasonable core radius, the relative sensitivity and confinement loss of the proposed gas sensor were improved to 96.5% and 0.11 dB/m, respectively. In addition, in order to better matching of optical power between single mode fiber (SMF) and HC-PBF, we could reduce the destructive effects of optical mode mismatch, by mode interference suppression. Furthermore, by optimization of fiber structural specifications such as air filling fraction and lattice constant, the PBF was changed to a single-mode waveguide. Considering the operation wavelength 1530 nm which is very close to the acetylene gas absorption wavelength, this fiber is appropriate to be a high sensitivity gas sensor to detect absorbing gases in the middle infrared range.

An experiment is proposed to show the feasibility of using hollow-core photonic bandgap fibers (HC-PBF) in the fiber-optic interferometric stethoscopes to generally improve the sensitivity and overcome the problems associated with the electronic stethoscopes. In the experiment, the HC-1550 is used as a measuring arm of an unbalanced Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) and the conventional single-mode optical fiber (SMF) is used as an isolated reference arm. Detection and demodulation of the relative phase shift is performed passively using phase-generated carrier homodyne technique (PGC). The proposed results indicate the significance of using HC-PBFs in the future stethoscopes.

Since the Appearance of Hollow-Core Photonic Bandgap Fiber (HC-PBF), it was Widely Concerned for its Excellent Characteristics. in Order to Study the Characteristics of the HC-PBF that can be Used in Resonator Fiber Optic Gyros (R-Fogs), the Model Structure of a Polarization-Maintaining HC-PBF was Built and its Performance was Simulated by Using the Finite Element Method (FEM). its Mode Field Distribution and Birefringence Characteristics were Obtained. the Influences of the Air Core and Cladding Structures on the Mode Field Distribution and Birefringence were Simulated and Analyzed Further. the Result Showed that there are both Core Mode and Surface Mode in the Structure we Built. by Adding Scattering Points into the Fiber Core, the Surface Mode can be Significantly Suppressed. by Matching the Size of Core and Air Holes around the Core, a Birefringence up to 8*10-4 were Obtained.

Sensing Applications

The presence of fiber optic devices, such as couplers or wavelength division multiplexers, based on hollow-core fibers (HCFs) is still rather uncommon, while such devices can be imagined to greatly increase the potential of HCFs for different applications, such as sensing, nonlinear optics, etc. In this paper, we present a combination of a standard, multimode fiber (MMF) optic coupler with a hollow core photonic bandgap fiber through arc fusion splicing and its application for the purpose of multiphoton spectroscopy. The presented splicing method is of high affordability due to the low cost of arc fusion splicers, and the measured splicing loss (SL) of the HCF-MMF splice is as low as (0.32 ± 0.1) dB, while the splice itself is durable enough to withstand a bending radius (rbend) of 1.8 cm. This resulted in a hybrid between the hollow core photonic bandgap fiber (HCPBF) and MMF coupler, delivering 20 mW of average power and 250-fs short laser pulses to the sample, which was good enough to test the proposed sensor setup in a simple, proof-of-concept multiphoton fluorescence excitation-detection experiment, allowing the successful measurement of the fluorescence emission spectrum of 10−5 M fluorescein solution. In our opinion, the presented results indicate the possibility of creating multi-purpose HCF setups, which would excel in various types of sensing applications.
