Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is fabricated in the microfiber by the use of femtosecond laser
pulse irradiation. Such a grating can be directly exposed to the surrounding medium without …

Micro/nanofibres (MNFs) are optical fibres with diameters close to or below the vacuum
wavelength of visible or near-infrared light. Due to its wavelength-or sub-wavelength scale …

We design several single-photon-sources based on the emission of a quantum dot
embedded in a semiconductor (GaAs) nanowire. Through various taper designs, we …

As a combination of fiber optics and nanotechnology, optical microfibers and nanofibers
(MNFs) have been emerging as a novel platform for exploring fiber-optic technology on the …

We report on the assembly of low-loss silica nanowires into functional microphotonics
devices on a low-index nondissipative silica aerogel substrate. Using this all-silica …

We experimentally demonstrate enhanced Kerr nonlinear effects in highly nonlinear
As_2Se_3 chalcogenide fiber tapered down to sub-wavelength waist diameter of 1.2 μm …

High-uniform nanowires with diameters down to 50 nm are directly taper-drawn from bulk
glasses. Typical loss of these wires goes down to 0.1 dB/mm for single-mode operation …

We present the first demonstration of all optical wavelength conversion in chalcogenide
glass fiber including system penalty measurements at 10 Gb/s. Our device is based on …
