By splicing and tapering at the fusion point of one-core single-mode fiber and three- or four-core single-mode fiber, an effective bitapered fiber coupling technique is implemented. Based on the beam propagation method, the bitapered coupling characteristics between the one-core fiber and the multicore single-mode fiber are simulated and analyzed.

All fiber on-axis coupling scheme between single mode fiber and GRIN fiber

In this paper we present a simple and novel method to maximize on-axis coupling efficiency to radially symmetric fibers without the need for extra free space optical elements. The method is based on inserting a segment of step-index multimode fiber (MMF), cleaved to a particular length, between the input fiber and the output fiber (OF). The MMF segment modifies the input field to match the guided modes in the OF. Using this technique we show that, by inserting an appropriate length MMF segment, it is theoretically possible to obtain a coupling coefficient as high as ?0.8 dB between a single mode fiber and a graded index ring-shaped fiber and ?0.32 dB for a multi-shell fiber. Our experimental measurements showed good agreement with theoretical predictions for the ring fiber.     

Photovoltaic fiber

The optoelectronically active optical fiber is demonstrated in this work. This fiber consists of dye sensitized solar cell (DSC) structure deposited on claddingless optical fiber. Both silica and plastic optical fibers are used as a substrate. Such a fiber converts light modes propagating in the modified cladding into electrical signal. DSC structure consisting of ZnO:Al transparent current collector layer, TiO₂ photoelectrode sensitized with ruthenium dye, gelatinized iodine electrolyte, and carbon-based counter electrode was deposited layer by layer on top of the optical fiber. Current density-voltage curves of photovoltaic (PV) fibers of different diameters are presented. Maximum obtained short circuit current, I_sc, was 26 nA/cm² and maximum open circuit voltage, V_oc, was 0.44 V. The fabrication issues and applications of the PV fiber are discussed in the article.

芳纶纤维和超高分子量聚乙烯纤维制备工程用纤维/水泥复合材料的适用性

研究了两种高强合成纤维在工程用纤维/水泥复合材料制备过程中的适用性,其中,芳纶纤维的表面为亲水性,超高分子量聚乙烯（UHMWPE）纤维的表面为憎水性。研究结果表明:工程用芳纶纤维/水泥复合材料拉伸破坏过程中无应变硬化能力且表现为单裂纹破坏现象;工程用UHMWPE纤维/水泥复合材料拉伸破坏过程中表现出良好的应变硬化能力和多裂纹开裂特性。因此,两种纤维相比,UHMWPE纤维适宜于工程用纤维/水泥复合材料的制备。随着水胶比的降低,工程用UHMWPE纤维/水泥复合材料抗拉强度增大,但应变硬化能力降低,因此,在制备工程用UHMWPE纤维/水泥复合材料的过程中,应协调纤维抗拉强度和基体与纤维之间界面过渡区的品质。      

Dual wavelength erbium-doped fiber laser using a tapered fiber

A tapered fiber is fabricated by heating and stretching a piece of optical fiber after the polymer protective cladding has been removed. An equidistant comb-like transmission spectrum, with a spacing of 1.6?nm and an extinction ratio of more than 5?dB, was obtained by the tapered fiber due to the multibeam interferences of the cladding modes. The tapered fiber was applied in a ring erbium-doped fiber laser (EDFL) to generate dual-wavelength lasing oscillations. The EDFL operates at wavelengths of 1557.0?nm and 1558.6?nm with a stable peak power and a signal-to-noise ratio of more than 40?dB.

The system has a wide repetition rate range of over 206.613 kHz from 1.387 kHz to 208.000 kHz with pulse durations of between 94.80 μs to 0.412 μs. The laser output is dependent on the pump power, with energy per pulse of 4.56 nJ to 16.26 nJ. The system is stable, with power and wavelength variations of less than 0.47 dBm and 0.067 nm. The output pulse train is free from self-mode locking and pulse jitters.

Performance improvement of carbon fiber/polyethylene fiber hybrid composites

Carbon fiber/polyethylene (PE) fiber hybrid composites were fabricated by open leaky mold method. The positional effect of PE fiber was investigated concerning the mechanical performance improvement of carbon fiber/PE fiber hybrid composites. The influence of adhesion level of PE fiber on the hybrid properties was studied using oxygen plasma, -MPS, and -MPS-modified polybutadiene (PB/-MPS) as surface modifiers. In case of carbon fiber/vinylester composite, -MPS and PB/-MPS acted as the bridge to bond carbon fiber to vinylester resin through the chemical bonding. In case of PE fiber/vinylester composite, plasma treatment of PE fiber introduced the etching and micro-pitting rather than the functional group on fiber surface. Therefore, the plasma treated composite exhibited a large increase in flexural strength compared with untreated composite. In the case of carbon fiber/PE fiber hybrid composites, the mechanical properties of hybrid composite strongly depended on the reinforcing fiber position. When carbon fiber was at the outermost layer, the hybrid composite exhibited the highest flexural strength among other hybrid composites. This was attributed to the fact that the compressive and tensile stress had maximum magnitudes in the outermost layer. The surface treatment of PE fiber at outermost layer had a significant effect on the flexural strength of hybrid composite.
