Consecutive solvent evaporation and co-rolling techniques for polymer multilayer hollow fiber preform fabrication

Label-free biosensing with high sensitivity in dual-core microstructured polymer optical fibers

“…The dual-core MOFs have not yet been investigated for label-free biosensing but only for refractive index sensing. The dual-core MOF based refractive index sensors reported so far either require selective filling [18,19,21,22], have very small holes [21], or have an all-solid bandgap structure that requires to find two suitable materials that are also compatible for drawing [20], which can be very difficult [23].…”

All-fiber spectral filtering with solid core photonic band gap Bragg fibers

“…A co-rolling process [12] was used to make the fiber preform. Large bandgaps (spectral width of up to ∼ 25% of a bandgap center wavelength) were predicted [13] for this material combination.…”

Optical fibers for smart photonic textiles

“…Such techniques can be either extrusion-based (Mignanelli et al , 2007), or should involve only simple processing steps requiring limited process control. To this end, our group has developed all-polymer PBG Bragg fi bers (Gao et al , 2006;Dupuis et al , 2007) using layer-by-layer polymer deposition, as well as polymer fi lm co-rolling techniques, which are economical and suitable for industrial scale-up.…”
