NEW TRENDS IN STRUCTURED FIBRES FOR TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND SENSING
Structured optical fibres such as photonic crystal,photonic bandgap, air clad and Fresnel fibres are characterised by the ability to distribute distinct materials across an optical fibre in the form of capillaries that run along the fibre length. Usually,these capillaries are air channels but can also be liquid or solid channels. The material and the distribution,together, can define various forms of propagation. This opens up new approaches to solving long-standing and future challenges in telecommunications and sensing,ranging from attenuation, dual Raman and dispersion compensation to novel resonant all-fibre sensing devices. The combination with recent advances in grating writing technology that does away with the need for photosensitive dopants is set to extend the possibilities now in reach and to revolutionise the extent of their deployment.
