“…By replacing the gap-filling rod with a single-mode fiber preform rod or increasing the diameter of the preform rod, the tube-and-rod nesting and stacking combination method can be used to fabricate 16-core [174], 19-core [175][176][177][178], 22-core [19], 30-core [179], 36-core [180], and even more core-count [181][182][183][184][185] multi-core optical fibers. The tube-androd nesting and stacking combination method can also be used to prepare rectangular core [186][187][188][189] multi-core optical fibers using air-core. In summary, the preparation scheme is flexible, making it a highly regarded method for fabricating multi-core optical fibers.…”

The rapid development of information and communication technology has driven the demand for higher data transmission rates. Multi-core optical fiber, with its ability to transmit multiple signals simultaneously, has emerged as a promising solution to meet this demand. Additionally, due to its characteristics such as multi-channel transmission, high integration, spatial flexibility, and versatility, multi-core optical fibers hold vast potential in sensing applications. However, the manufacturing technology of multi-core fiber is still in its early stages, facing challenges such as the design and fabrication of high-quality cores, efficient coupling between cores, and the reduction of crosstalk. In this paper, an overview of the current status and future prospects of multi-core fiber manufacturing technology has been presented, and their limitations will be discussed. Some potential solutions to overcome these challenges will be proposed. Their potential applications in optical fiber sensing will also be summarized.

“…Flat fibers are advantageous because of their large sensing area, fast response, compatibility with standard optical fiber-based networks, and immunity against EM interference. Over the past few years flat fiber-based waveguides are designed as well as fabricated for communication purposes [146,147]. Recently, a flat fiberbased multicore analyte sensor was proposed [46] but it is also not free from void infiltration complexity.…”

The detection and monitoring of physical, chemical and biomedical parameters are increasingly reliant on fiber-optic sensing technology. Of applicable optical methods, photonic crystal fiber (PCF) sensors show its potential as a sensitive technique in environmental, industrial, food preservation and medical applications. Such a system incorporates the fabrication of a particular PCF, the interaction of wave propagation with the measured field, signal processing to offer automated real-time measurement in terms of the amplitude, phase, polarization and wavelength of spectrum.This article is an endeavour towards giving a brief overview of the development of analyte sensors using PCFs in the last few years. Different kinds of PCF analyte sensors are discussed based on the measuring entity and reported works. This discussion integrates a variety in the nature of the core, metal coating on the PCF and liquid infiltration in the holes. It is also considered to present the phenomena of its internal structure and interference techniques for several applications. Advances in this technology, particularly in the areas of gas sensing, chemical spices and bio analytes, will be discussed in this article with some applications.
