Two new simple interferometric methods for birefringence measurements are described applying to either low- or high-birefringence fibres and to any kind of birefringence, the set-up being free of a polarizing device. ...

Polarization dispersion is an effect which may cause data rate penalty in optical links. This is caused by the combined effect of fibre birefringence and polarization couplings due to environmental perturbations. Polarization dispersion is therefore a stoc ...
Among all the nonlinear effects stimulated Brillouin scattering offers the highest gain in solid materials and has demonstrated advanced photonics functionalities in waveguides. The large compressibility of gases suggests that stimulated Brillouin scat- te ...
Stretchable optical and electronic fibers constitute increasingly important building blocks for a myriad of applications, particularly in robotics, soft prosthesis, surgical tools and implants, and smart medical textiles. The integration of multimaterial a ...
The integration of increasingly complex functionalities within thermally drawn multi-material fibers is heralding a novel path towards advanced soft electronics and smart fabrics. Fibers capable of electronic, optoelectronic, piezoelectric or energy harv ...
