โœฆ Synopsis

We demonstrate a technique for simultaneous drawing, tapering, and coiling of a silica optical fiber that is locally heated by a CO 2 laser. It allows us to fabricate coils of silica fibers and microfibers with diameters ranging from $ 100 mm down to less than a micron. As an application, we demonstrate an evanescent coiled fiber refractometric sensor comprising 15 cm of standard single mode optical fiber. The dimension of this sensor is only 3 mm ร‚ 3 mm ร‚ 4 mm and its sensitivity in the aqueous environment is estimated as $ 160 nm/RIU.

## Abstract Microfiber loop resonator (MLR) is fabricated by coiling of a microfiber, which was obtained by the fast stretching of a heated single mode fiber. The MLR is embedded in low refractive index material to keep the system robust. Two comb filters with a constant spacing of 0.16 nm and 0.71

We report a fabrication process of single-mode polymeric optical fibers (POF) with photosensitive cores which display UV absorption property and may be the suitable precursors to inscribe Bragg gratings. These fibers are composed of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) cladding and methyl methacrylate copo
