Radially non uniform and azimuthally asymmetric optical waveguide fiber

TLDR
In this article, a single mode waveguide and a multimode waveguide fiber which have a radially non-uniform and azimuthally asymmetric core are presented.
Abstract
Disclosed are a single mode waveguide fiber and a multimode waveguide fiber which have a radially non-uniform and azimuthally asymmetric core, and methods of making such a waveguide fiber. This asymmetry provides additional degrees of freedom for use in forming a waveguide having particular performance characteristics.

Polarisation preserving optical fibre

TL;DR: A micro-structured optical fiber has a cladding comprising a number of elements having a non-circular cross-section, each element has at least one part extending outside a circle having the same cross-sectional area as the element as discussed by the authors.

Optical fibre filter

TL;DR: In this article, a dual-mode optical fiber is used to produce a power transfer between a first and a second propagation modes (LP01, LP11) of the optical signal.

Optical fiber, optical fiber filter, and optical amplifier

TL;DR: In this article, an optical fiber filter consists of a pair of first coupling regions and a phase-shift region, which are formed in the optical fiber, at a predefined mutual distance, for producing power transfer between first and second propagation modes of the optical signal.

Circularly birefringent optical fibre

TL;DR: In this paper, a single mode circularly birefringent optical fiber having a central core and a surrounding cladding is described, where the core (10) contains four symmetrically disposed core regions (12 to 15) each having an average refractive index greater than that of the surrounding portions of the core and each of which follows a helical path.
