TLDR
In this paper, the optical properties of a photonic crystal fiber including a plurality of longitudinal holes are altered by virtue of the change in cross-sectional area of holes in that region.Abstract:
A photonic crystal fibre including a plurality of longitudinal holes (220), in which at least some of the holes have a different cross-sectional area in a first region (200) of the fibre, that region having been heat-treated after fabrication of the fibre, from their cross-sectional area in a second region of the fibre (190), wherein the optical properties of the fibre in the heat-treated region (200) are altered by virture of the change in cross-sectional area of holes (230) in that region (200).read more

Discrete Solitons in Optics
Falk Lederer,George I. Stegeman,Demetri N. Christodoulides,Gaetano Assanto,M. Segev,Yaron Silberberg +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an overview of recent experimental and theoretical developments in the area of optical discrete solitons, which represent self-trapped wavepackets in nonlinear periodic structures and result from the interplay between lattice diffraction (or dispersion) and material nonlinearity.

Process of manufacturing a fiber bundle
TL;DR: In this paper, a multiplicity of like fibers of fusible material are arranged in a bundle which is brought to the drawing temperature to reduce its cross sectional area while retaining its cross-sectional configuration.

Influence of noncircular core on the polarisation performance of single mode fibres
V. Ramaswamy,W. G. French +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the noncircular geometry and the associated stress-induced birefringence alone are not sufficient to maintain polarisation in single-mode fibres.

Optical fiber sensor and a manufacturing process for making same
TL;DR: In this paper, a hollow fiber with, over the full length of the fiber and between each fiber channel (3, 4) and the core, at least one stress zone (5, 6) to create an anisotropic stress distribution which subjects the fiber core to a tensile stress.
