Abstract: A fiber is provided that has been thermally drawn from a fiber preform, having a longitudinal-axis length and including at least one core that has a longitudinal core axis parallel to the longitudinal axis and internally disposed to at least one outer fiber cladding material layer along the fiber length. The fiber is fed through a localized heating site having a heating site temperature, T, that is above a melting temperature of the fiber core, with a feed speed, υf, that melts a portion of the fiber core at the heating site, causing molten droplets to pinch off of fiber core material, one droplet at a time, with a time period of molten droplet formation set by the fiber feed speed, υf. The fiber is fed through the localized heating site to move the molten droplets out of the heating site and solidify the molten droplets into solid in-fiber particles.

Abstract: Provided is a fiber having an elongated, unsupported, three-dimensional fiber body with a fiber body length and at least one fiber material disposed along the fiber body length. The at least one fiber material has a viscosity lower than about 108 Poise at a common thermal fiber draw temperature. At least one topological pattern is disposed on at least one surface of the fiber body and extends longitudinally along at least a portion of the fiber body length. To form the fiber, there is assembled a fiber preform including at least one preform material. A surface of at least one preform material is patterned and arranged as a fiber preform surface, providing a topological pattern on a fiber preform surface. The fiber preform is thermally drawn into an elongated fiber at a fiber draw temperature at which all preform materials have a viscosity lower than about 108 Poise.
