A method for adjusting the working distance and spot size of a fiber probe while suppressing or enhancing the back-coupling to the lead-in fiber is presented. As the optical fiber probe, a lensed optical fiber (LOF) was made by splicing a short piece of coreless silica fiber (CSF) on a single-mode fiber and forming a lens at the end of the CSF. By controlling the length of the CSF and the radius of lens curvature, the optical properties of the LOF were adjusted. The evolution of the beam in the LOF was analyzed by using the Gaussian ABCD matrix method. To confirm the idea experimentally, 17 LOF samples were fabricated and analyzed theoretically and also experimentally. The results show that it is feasible in designing the LOF to be more suitable for specific or dedicated applications. Applications in physical sensing and biomedical imaging fields are expected.

ABSTRACTThe effect of varying single mode fiber fabrication factors such as core and clad dopant concentrations, deposition conditions, and draw parameters on the recovery of the nuclear radiation-induced attenuation at 1.3 μm has been studied. Statistically significant correlations of core factors have been established with a 24 experimental design, and separate one-dimensional experiments revealed the effect of clad [Ge] and [F].

AbstractIn this work, an experimental analysis of the performance of different types of quasi-randomly distributed reflectors inscribed into a single-mode fiber as a sensing mirror is presented. These artificially-controlled backscattering fiber reflectors are used in short linear cavity fiber lasers. In particular, laser emission and sensor application features are analyzed when employing optical tapered fibers, micro-drilled optical fibers and 50 μm-waist or 100 μm-waist micro-drilled tapered fibers (MDTF). Single-wavelength laser with an output power level of about 8.2 dBm and an optical signal-to-noise ratio of 45 dB were measured when employing a 50 μm-waist micro-drilled tapered optical fiber. The achieved temperature sensitivities were similar to those of FBGs; however, the strain sensitivity improved more than one order of magnitude in comparison with FBG sensors, attaining slope sensitivities as good as 18.1 pm/με when using a 50 μm-waist MDTF as distributed reflector.

The requirement of the modern application is to transmit wide bandwidth of signal with the low latency. The optical fibers provide wide transmission bandwidth along with very little delay as well as choice on choosing transmission medium for high data rate. However, Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) is a nonlinear optical effect that restricts power level into a fiber to few milliwatts. It degrades the Q-factor and consequently the bit error rate of an optical fiber link. For suppression of SBS, various approaches have been used previously such as PSK, ASK, FSK, CSRZ-DQPSK etc. Among all the previous techniques, CSRZ-DQPSK transmitter is considered as the most efficient one for suppression of SBS. However, it consists of some drawbacks such as low spectrum efficiency, susceptibility to phase variation and short communication range, due to which requirement arises of upgrading the previous work. Therefore, in the proposed work (i.e. CSRZ-DP-QPSK), DP-QPSK scheme is used which makes the system more efficient as it has high spectrum efficiency and improved sensitivity. Also, the communication range is elongated in present work. The performance evaluation of CSRZ-DP-QPSK approach has been performed in terms of Q-Factor, BER, and threshold. Also, the comparative analysis of the proposed approach with conventional approaches has been performed and from the obtained results it has been demonstrated that proposed work is more efficient than conventional one as it has better SBS tolerance and improved BER.

Zinc is one of the important material in human blood because of its effect in defensive system work for properly and it plays an important role in growth, wound healing Medically zinc concentration effect directly in skin health so it's important to make a sensor for discover zinc and its concentration change in human blood for each of male and female. Optical fibers are used as a sensor for detecting zinc and its concentration by transmitted laser signal through the optical fiber by using different types (single mode fiber SMF, photonic crystal fiber PCF) by studying the results of output laser the detection can be seen for zinc concentration change, the design of small PCF which the same LMA_10 but smaller in its radius of core and cladding even the distance between cores. The smallest PCF size has the best detection for all zinc concentration change in blood all that was done by comsol Multiphysics 5.4 simulation program

The integration of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) into optical fibers allows the application of their unique properties in robust and versatile devices. Here, we present a laser-induced technique to obtain the deposition of CNTs onto the fiber optics tips of multimode interference (MMI) devices. An MMI device is constructed by splicing a section of no-core fiber (NCF) to a single-mode fiber (SMF). The tip of the MMI device is immersed into a liquid solution of CNTs and laser light is launched into the MMI device. CNTs solutions using water and methanol as solvents were tested. In addition, the use of a polymer dispersant polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) in the CNTs solutions was also studied. We found that the laser-induced deposition of CNTs performed in water-based solutions generates non-uniform deposits. On the other hand, the laser-induced deposition performed with methanol solutions generates uniform deposits over the fiber tip when no PVP is used and deposition at the center of the fiber when PVP is present in the CNTs solution. The results show the crucial role of the solvent on the spatial features of the laser-induced deposition process. Finally, we register and study the reflection spectra of the as-fabricated CNTs deposited MMI devices.
