Holey Fibers Connect to Conventional Fibers with Low Loss

Breck Hitz

Holey fibers have several characteristics that make them useful in numerous applications, including the ability to manipulate dispersion. But an impediment to their widespread utilization has been the difficulty in splicing holey fibers to conventional fibers. Even when the modes propagating in the two fibers match -- which is rarely the case -- the splice is problematic because the air holes in the holey fiber can be corrupted during the splicing process. Recently, researchers at University of Bath in the UK demonstrated that holey fibers can be fabricated with a conventional fiber...Read full article
