“…Thus, the simplicity of OMFs as sensors based on photonic transmission is typically accompanied by degraded performance as well as mechanical fragility. The sustainability of OMFs can be significantly enhanced [ 26 ] based on fusing manually-prepared OMFs around a desirable knot diameter, either by electrical [ 27 , 28 ] or other [ 29 , 30 , 31 ] techniques.…”

Optical microknot fibers (OMFs) serve as localized devices, where photonic resonances (PRs) enable self-interfering elements sensitive to their environment. However, typical fragility and drifting of the knot severely limit the performance and durability of microknots as sensors in aqueous settings. Herein we present the fabrication, electrical fusing, preparation, and persistent detection of volatile liquids in multiple wetting–dewetting cycles of volatile compounds and quantify the persistent phase shifts with a simple model relating to the ambient liquid, enabling durable in-liquid sensing employing OMF PRs.

“…Owing to manufacturing characteristics of components, assemblies, and other parts, there exist inevitable errors in the motorized stage, and combinations of various types of errors that would cause the stage to deviate from its predetermined path, resulting in increased alignment difficulties. 11,12 In order to increase the kinematic accuracy of the optical fiber and waveguide chip alignment, a geometric and kinematic error model of the 6-axis motorized stage was necessary. The error distribution state and sensitivity characteristics of the stage were analyzed by combining them with characteristics of the optical fiber alignment, and an error compensation method was then developed, to achieve low-loss alignment of the optical fibers and optical waveguide chip.…”

In order to increase the accuracy of a 6-axis motorized fiber alignment stage, a geometric and kinematic error model was established. A low-order body array was introduced to describe the general topological structure of the alignment stage; a homogeneous error transformation matrix was adopted to present the combination and kinematic errors of a typical case in a multi-body system; the structure and kinematic relationship of a 6-axis motorized fiber alignment stage as well as the corresponding error equation were built via the multi-body system error theory; the error distribution state and sensitivity characteristics of the 6-axis motorized fiber alignment stage were further analyzed; and the error compensation strategy was developed. The experimental results indicated that using inline error compensation for improving the alignment accuracy of the automatic alignment system for optical waveguide devices was very effective.

In optical fiber splicing, the fusion technique using gas discharge heating is considered a practical method from the viewpoints of operation and reliability. The fusion by which the splicing is made after pre‐shaping by a gas discharge on the optical fiber ends, has excellent features of low loss and stable splices. However, the splicing mechanism and the optimum splicing condition have not yet been analyzed sufficiently. This paper studies splicing conditions such as the pre‐fusion time, optical fiber stuffing length and shape‐up time of the optical fiber splicing by pre‐fusion method from the viewpoint of splicing shape, splice loss and core distortion. The optimum conditions for realizing a low‐loss splice are then determined. As a result, it is clarified that although the pre‐fusion method essentially becomes a mechanism for increasing the splice loss due to core distortion caused by pre‐fusion, there exists an optimum stuffing length for minimizing its effect. It is also shown that for performing stable, low‐loss splicing (even in the case where the condition of the optical fiber end is bad), it is proper to have a pre‐fusion of 0.3 ∼ 0.4 second. A foundation for the design of the splicing apparatus is obtained.
