The phenomenon of the interference pattern splitting in an all-fiber white-light interferometer is investigated. It is found that the interference pattern will change its amplitude and shape as the fiber which forms the optical path is subjected to tension, bending, or torsion. This leads to the int

Chain scission induced by two-photon exposure produces a permanent birefringence in polysilane polymer films, which can be used for the formation of birefringent optical elements. Spectroscopy of the effect for poly( di-n-hexylsilane) reveals an unexpected sharp resonance at 580 nm. A comparison of
## Background and objective: The interaction of surgical optical fibers with tissue has been studied. study design/methods and materials: fibers (600 microns) were lased in chicken and beef tissue using a nd:yag laser from 5 to 50 w in both cw and pulsed modes. ## Results: With longer lasing and
