Microstructured Polymer Fibers In Brazil

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Microstructured polymer fibers (mPOF) are being fabricated in the Speciaty Optical Fibers Laboratory (LaFE) at the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in Brazil. In this work the initial results will be presented, in particular those related with a single mode fiber, a bimodal fiber, a spun fiber with elliptical birefringence and a two cores fiber made with PMMA cladding and cyclo olefin cores.295297CNPq,COPPE/UFRJ - Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro,et al.,FAPERJ,KDPOF,LIF - Laboratorio de Instrumentacao e FotonicaConselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq)Espinel, Y.A.V., Franco, M.A.R., Cordeiro, C.M.B., Tunable Single-Polarization Single-Mode Microstructured Polymer Optical Fiber (2011) Journal of Ligthwave Technology, 29, p. 2372Barton, G., van Eijkelenborg, M.A., Henry, G., Large, M.C.J., Zagari, J., Fabrication of microstructured polymer optical fibres (2004) Optical Fiber Technology, 10, pp. 325-33
