New Methods of Enhancing the Thermal Durability of Silica Optical Fibers

New Methods of Enhancing the Thermal Durability of Silica Optical Fibers

Microstructured optical fibers can be precisely tailored for many different applications, out of which sensing has been found to be particularly interesting. However, placing silica optical fiber sensors in harsh environments results in their quick destruction as a result of the hydrolysis process....
