Fabrication of Random Hole Optical Fiber Preforms by Silica Sol-Gel Processing
Conventional fibers are comprised of a solid glass core and solid glass cladding often protected by a thin polymer sheath. The finely tuned difference in refractive indices, for step index-fibers, is achieved by doping the core with germanium or elements with similar effects. Holey fibers (includi...
