Alternative methods 直接拉制方案： 将部分Cladding空气孔，换成石英玻璃 灌液体方案： 将部分Cladding空气孔，换成液体 (with appropriate refractive index) H. F. Xuan et al., Opt Lett. 33(8), 845 (2008) In-fiber polarimeter L can be from centimeters to tens of meters Insensitive to external index * H. F. Xuan et al, Optics Express 17(15) 13246, July 2009 Sensing with the HC-PBF polarimeter Directional twist sensitivity: 14.4 pm/(rad/m) T - sensitivity: 0.86pm/℃ (L=50mm), ~ 10 times smaller than FBG. ε - sensitivity: 0.6pm/??, comparable to FBG * * Taper and modal interferometer Tapers were fabricated by a conventional fusion splicer. Outer diameter reduced from 126 to 98μm, ΔR/R = 22%. The innermost ring of air hole was fully collapsed. The center air-core enlarged from 12 to 24μm in diameter. Tapering couples the core mode to surface mode Tapering HC-PBF J. Ju et al., Optics Letters, 34(12), 1861-1863, June 2009 * Core-surface mode Interferometer L = 23cm SMF or Solid-core PCF: ~10-3 Fringes no change when optical gel (nD=1.46) applied ! * Splicing PBF to SM fibers Splice loss: (1) Misalignment (2) Mode field mismatch (3) Index mismatch (4) Air-gap due to recess (5) Air-hole deformation Benabid et al., Nature 434, 488-491 (2005); L. M. Xiao et al., J. Lightwave Technol. 25(11), 3563 (2007) A fusion joint with splice loss of 1.45 dB. One possible way to reduce splicing loss might be to use a bridge PCF with one end matches the mode field of SMF, while the other end to PBF; the index-guiding PCF’s mode field may be modified by partial collapsing/inflating the holes. * Gas-filled HC-PBFs In-fiber gas cell Gas sensing Gas laser and possible gyro applications * In-fiber gas cell Type of gases: H2, C2H2, CH4, NH3, He, Ar,… Gas pressure: 0.01mbar to atmospheric pressure Cell length: 5cm to 50m Applications: nonlinear optics in gases, spectroscopy, lasers Hensley et al. Opt Express 15(11), 6690 (2007) * Gas sensing Operating wavelengths: 1.53, 1.65 and 3.25 μm, can be us
