The drawing process for the fabrication of a hollow optical fiber involves the flow of glass, which is largely heated by thermal radiation, in an inert gas environment. It is critical to maintain the central core, which can collapse if the thermal conditions are not properly imposed and controlled.
## Abstract We consider electromagnetic propagation in optical fibers as described by a nonlinear SchrΓΆdinger equation. The equation is endowed with input data representing a signal affected by a Gaussian white noise. Assuming both the nonlinearity and the noise to be small of the same order Ξ΅, we
We demonstrate single-mode guiding in a 4-ΞΌminner-diameter hollow photonic-crystal fiber filled with a highly nonlinear liquid. The nonlinear response of such a fiber is shown to drastically differ from a typical nonlinear response of a silica waveguide. Strong inertia of optical nonlinearity of the
A novel experimental technique for the measurement of the nonlinear refractive index coefficient, n 2 , based on the detection of self-phase modulation phase shift by means of an all-fiber Sagnac interferometer, is proposed. Measurements performed on dispersion-shifted fibers clearly indicate that t
