Photonic crystal fibers are a kind of fiber optics that present a diversity of new and improved
features beyond what conventional optical fibers can offer. Due to their unique geometric …

A review of optical fiber sensing demonstrations based on photonic crystal fibers is
presented. The text is organized in five main sections: the first three deal with sensing …

The authors report a highly sensitive (∼ 2.8 pm∕ μ ε) wavelength-encoded strain sensor
made from a piece of photonic crystal fiber (PCF) spliced to standard fibers. The authors …

We study the sensitivity of fiber grating sensors in the applications of strain, temperature,
internal label-free biosensing, and internal refractive index sensing. New analytical …

Photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) are a special class of optical fibers with a periodic
arrangement of microstructured holes located in the fiber's cladding. Light confinement is …

In optical fiber, the Orbital Angular Momentum (OAM) mode is a special mode with spatially
infinite orthogonality. It provides a new multiplexing method to the communication capacity …

In this paper, the pressure response of fiber Bragg gratings in grapefruit microstructured
fibers was experimentally investigated and theoretically analyzed with full-vector finite …

We present fiber Bragg grating based transversal load sensing with a highly birefringent
microstructured optical fiber. For the bare fiber, the change of the Bragg peak separation …

This paper reviews the state‐of‐the‐art of grating fabrication in silica and polymer
microstructured optical fibres. It focuses on the difficulties and challenges encountered …

An alternative method to build point and sensor array based on photonic crystal fibers
(PCFs) is presented. A short length (in the 9-12 mm range) of properly selected index …
