Ultra-simplified Single-Step Fabrication of Microstructured Optical Fiber
Ultra-simplified Single-Step Fabrication of Microstructured Optical Fiber is a scholarly work by Alson K L Ng, published in 2020 in ''Scientific Reports''. The main subjects of the publication include materials science, optics, fiber-optic sensor, fiber, plastic-clad silica fiber, composite material, optical fiber, plastic optical fiber, photonic-crystal fiber, core, fabrication of data, fiber-optic communication, Microstructured optical fiber, hard-clad silica optical fiber, and single-mode optical fiber. The authors demonstrate the use of a commercial table-top low-cost filament extruder to produce optical fibers with complex microstructure in a single step - from the pellets of the optical material directly to the final fiber.
