    摘要: This invention pertains to a glass fiber, a Raman device and a method. The fiber is a hollow core photonic bandgap chalcogenide glass fiber that includes a hollow core for passing light therethrough, a Raman active gas disposed in said core, a microstructured region disposed around said core, and a solid region disposed around said microstructured region for providing structural integrity to said microstructured region. The device includes a coupler for introducing at least one light signal into a hollow core of a chalcogenide photonic bandgap fiber; a hollow core chalcogenide photonic bandgap glass fiber; a microstructured fiber region disposed around said core; a solid fiber region disposed around said microstructured region for providing structural integrity to said microstructured region; and a Raman active gas disposed in the hollow core. The method includes the steps of introducing a light beam into a hollow core chalcogenide photonic bandgap glass fiber filled with a Raman active gas disposed in the core, conveying the beam through the core while it interacts with the gas to form a Stokes beam of a typically higher wavelength, and removing the Stokes beam from the core of the fiber.

    摘要: A core/clad glass optical fiber is made by melting a core glass rod and a adding glass rod in separate crucibles which are not intersecting with respect to each other and the respective core and cladding glass melts passed out of contact with each other to a glass melt contacting zone proximate a fiber drawing orifice in which the cladding glass surrounds the core glass and a core/clad glass fiber is drawn. This process enables the clad glass fiber to be drawn directly from core and cladding glass rods without the need for a preform or forming a melt from glass chards or chunks, thereby reducing the cost of producing the fiber and also producing a glass clad optical fiber of high purity and excellent concentricity. Chalcogenide glass fibers having a concentricity of 100% have been made.

    摘要: An optical fiber termination connector includes an elongated structure with chamber extending therethrough open at both ends, a fiber disposed in the chamber and spaced therefrom, a solid first material disposed in the chamber around the fiber, and an air gap in the chamber around the end of the fiber. The process includes the steps of locating a fiber in a chamber disposed vertically, with the end of the fiber extending beyond the lower portion of chamber; dipping a lower portion of the chamber into a first material in liquid form so that the first material enters the lower portion of the chamber to a level below an exit port located in the lower portion of the chamber; solidifying the first material disposed in and around the chamber and the fiber; above the solid first material; polishing the lower end of the fiber until it is flush with the chamber at the lower thereof; and removing the first material to form an air gap between the fiber and the lower portion of the chamber. The air gap is large enough to allow independent thermal expansion of the fiber.
