摘要： The invention involves providing a microstructured fiber having a core region, a cladding region, and one or more axially oriented elements (e.g., capillary air holes) in the cladding region. A portion of the microstructured fiber is then treated, e.g., by heating and stretching the fiber, such that at least one feature of the fiber microstructure is modified along the propagation direction, e.g., the outer diameter of the fiber gets smaller, the axially oriented elements get smaller, or the axially oriented elements collapse. The treatment is selected to provide a resultant fiber length that exhibits particular properties, e.g., mode contraction leading to soliton generation, or mode expansion. Advantageously, the overall fiber length is designed to readily couple to a standard transmission fiber, i.e., the core sizes at the ends of the length are similar to a standard fiber, which allows efficient coupling of light into the microstructured fiber length.

摘要： Optical fiber according to the invention comprises a core, with an inner cladding surrounding the core, and an outer cladding surrounding the inner one. The fiber comprises preform-derived glass. The outer cladding comprises a first outer cladding region between the inner cladding region and a second outer cladding region. The first outer cladding region is selected to have an effective refractive index less than 1.35, and such that the optical characteristics of the optical fiber are essentially independent of the second outer cladding, and/or such that the fiber is re-coat insensitive. The first outer cladding typically comprises elongate features extending in the fiber axial direction, with a web material joining the inner cladding to the second outer cladding. The elongate features are filled with a low-index material, exemplarily air, but could of course be evacuated. Fibers according to the invention have many uses, e.g., cladding-pumped optical fiber or fiber with a long period grating.

摘要： Disclosed are non-periodic microstructured optical fibers that guide radiation by index guiding. By appropriate choice of core region and cladding region, the effective refractive index difference .DELTA. between core region and cladding can be made large, typically greater than 5% or even 10 or 20%. Such high .DELTA. results in small mode field diameter of the fundamental guided mode (typically

摘要： A tunable optical fiber device comprises a length of fiber having a core having a certain refractive index; a cladding peripherally surrounding the core with a refractive index less than the refractive index of the core; and at least one hollow region disposed within the cladding in proximity to the core or within the core itself. Fluid (typically liquid) controllably moved within the hollow region modifies the effective index of the fiber and thereby tunes its characteristics.

摘要： A fiber optic system comprises an optical transmitter, an optical receiver, and an optical fiber transmission path that optically couples the transmitter and the receiver to one another. The transmission path includes a first section that has negative dispersion at an operating wavelength &lgr;0 greater than about 1300 nm and a second section that includes a MOF. The MOF has relatively large anomalous dispersion at &lgr;0 and is sufficiently long to compensate the accumulated negative dispersion in the first section. In one embodiment the MOF comprises a core, a lower index cladding that includes one or more layers of air holes surrounding the core, characterized in that the diameter of the core is less than about 8 &mgr;m and the difference in effective refractive index between the core and cladding is greater than about 0.1 (10%). Preferably, the cladding contains no more than 2 layers of air holes and the distance between the nearest edges of adjacent air holes is less than about 1 &mgr;m.

摘要： A method of fabricating a glass body that includes a multiplicity of constituents, at least one of which is a dopant (e.g., a rare-earth element) having a low vapor pressure (LVP) precursor includes the steps of: (a) generating an aerosol from the LVP precursor; (b) separately generating vapors of the other constituents; (c) convecting the aerosol and vapors to deposition system including a substrate; and (d) forming at least one doped layer on a surface of the substrate. In one embodiment, the method also includes filtering the aerosol so as to remove aerosol particles outside of a particular range of sizes. Also described is a unique aerosol generator that is particularly useful in generating aerosols of rare-earth dopants.

摘要： Embodiments of the invention include an optical system apparatus and method for modulating the strength of a grating such as a long period grating (LPG) within optical systems and devices by varying the light transmission and loss characteristics of the cladding mode, rather than varying the effective refractive index of the fiber layers. According to embodiments of the invention, the use of a light-scattering or light absorptive material in the cladding of the optical fiber or other optical energy transmission medium causes the cladding to switch between a first state that effectively allows coherent coupling of cladding modes and a second state that effectively prevents coherent coupling of cladding modes. The light-scattering materials include electro-optic materials that cause the cladding to switch between the first and second states based on the presence (or absence) of an electric field, magneto-optic materials that cause the cladding to switch between the first and second states based on the presence (or absence) of a magnetic field, and materials capable of phase transitions that cause the cladding to switch between the first and second states based on temperature. The light-absorptive materials include dopants that cause the cladding to switch between the first and second states based on the wavelength of the optical energy. Embodiments of the invention differ from conventional optical media in that, according to embodiments of the invention, the cladding mode loss (attenuation) is varied rather than conventional changes in the index of refraction. The magnitude of the loss according to embodiments of the invention depends on the specification arrangements employed, but such loss typically is defined in dB per unit length in the given cladding mode.

摘要： Applicants have determined that much of the nonuniformity in solution doped preforms is due to nonuniformity of the soot layer caused by the high temperature necessary for complete reaction, and that MCVD fabrication using reaction temperature lowering gases such as nitrous oxide (N.sub.2 O) can produce more uniform soot layers. The conventional oxygen/reactant gas mixture presents a very small temperature window in which a uniform silica soot layer can be deposited without sintering. If the temperature in oxygen is too low, SiCl.sub.4 will not react completely and silicon oxychlorides will form. This degrades the soot layer and makes it unusable. If the temperature is too high the soot layer begins to sinter, decreasing the surface area and porosity. Adding a reaction temperature lowering gas lowers the reaction temperature and enables deposition of soot on the tube wall at a temperature substantially lower than the sintering temperature. This results in a more uniform, porous soot layer along the length of the preform and from one preform to another; and, in turn, the greater uniformity permits more uniform solution doping.
摘要翻译：申请人已经确定了溶液掺杂预制件中的大部分不均匀性是由于完全反应所需的高温引起的烟灰层的不均匀性，并且使用反应温度降低气体如一氧化二氮（N 2 O）的MCVD制造可以产生更均匀的烟灰层。常规的氧气/反应物气体混合物呈现非常小的温度窗口，其中可沉积均匀的二氧化硅烟灰层而不烧结。如果氧气中的温度太低，SiCl4将不会完全反应并形成硅氧氯化物。这会降低烟灰层，使其不可用。如果温度太高，烟灰层开始烧结，减少表面积和孔隙率。添加反应降温气体降低了反应温度，并且能够以基本上低于烧结温度的温度将烟灰沉积在管壁上。这导致沿着预成型件的长度和从一个预成型件到另一个预制件的更均匀的多孔的烟灰层; 反过来，更大的均匀性允许更均匀的溶液掺杂。
