Microstructured Polymer Optical FibresMicrostructured Polymer Optical Fibres describes the optical properties of microstructured fibres, how they are made and modelled, and outlines some potential applications. These applications include areas where polymer fibres are already used, such as high-data rate transmission for Fibre-to-the Home or within cars, as well as completely new areas such as the photonic bandgap transmission of "difficult" wavelengths. Emphasising a conceptual understanding of the underlying physics, Microstructured Polymer Optical Fibres is clearly written, and includes numerous illustrations. It provides an excellent overview of the latest developments in the field, making them accessible to industry, technical and research audiences. |

... approach to reducing this has been to shift the harmonics to longer wavelengths by replacing hydrogen with something heavier, such as deuterium or fluorine. The use of fluorination has substantially improved the transmission of polymer ...
... approaches to making optical fibres. In most cases, particularly in silica, fibres are drawn from a “preform” – a short, fat version of the fibre which contains the desired radial structure (see Chapter 5). In other cases, the fibre is ...
... approaches to making glass fibres include the “double crucible” technique, in which two molten glasses are drawn together, and the “rod-in-tube technique”, in which a tube of one material is collapsed onto a rod of the other material ...
