This spectral asymmetry enabled the implementation of a combined wavelength-based and intensity-based interrogation scheme. By separating the influence of each parameter in the spectral response, it was possible to measure the refractive index independently, without interference from temperature variations. A refractive index sensor with a minimum detectable change of δ = 1.2 × 10<sub>−4</sub> RIU was demonstrated. In addition to introducing a novel structure that leverages Fano resonance, the sensor was also applied as an evaporation rate sensor. The results demonstrate its potential for a wide range of applications, serving as a foundation for the development of future optical sensing technologies.","PeriodicalId":16144,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lightwave Technology","volume":"44 5","pages":"1944-1950"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147287859","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The inner negative curvature tubes facilitate OAM modes synthesis and tunes coupling between adjacent spin-orbit alignment and anti-alignment modes, while the outer negative curvature tubes regulate topological charges and suppress high-order strongly-coupled modes. The results demonstrate that the fiber supports 11 spin-orbit alignment/anti-alignment modes, with adjacent modes exhibiting an effective refractive index difference (Δn<sub>eff</sub>) exceeding 2.03 × 10<sup>−3</sup> at 1550 nm and surpassing 1.98 × 10<sup>−3</sup> across the 1530–1650 nm. DLNC-OAM-FMF breaks through mode coupling suppression and mode count limitations in negative curvature tube-based OAM FMFs, holds significant promise for 2 × 2 multiple-input multiple-output mode-division multiplexing systems, and enables both boosted transmission capacity and reduced system complexity.","PeriodicalId":16144,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lightwave Technology","volume":"44 5","pages":"1891-1898"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147287885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While fiber-optic temperature sensors (FOTS) offer multiple advantages, achieving a synergistic combination of cost-effectiveness, compact dimensions, and high integration remains a critical challenge for practical implementations. This work presents an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven solution featuring a miniaturized, cost-efficient fiber-optic leaky-mode temperature speckle sensor with integrated optoelectronic transceiver functionality. The system employs a fiber microsphere at the emission end for light source coupling and collection, while a fiber taper at the detection end facilitates modal leakage from the fiber core. Temperature-sensitive material integrated within the sensing region modulates the refractive index (RI) in response to environmental temperature variations, thereby altering the specklegram characteristics of the leaked modes. A convolutional vision transformer (ConViT)-based regression model was trained to establish quantitative mapping between speckle image features and temperature measurements. Comparative analysis demonstrated superior performance against convolutional neural network (CNN), vision transformer (Vit), and modified CNN architectures, achieving a median absolute error (MedAE) of 0.256 °C. This integrated approach effectively addresses the critical triad of cost reduction, miniaturization, and functional integration, potentially advancing the development of fiber-optic thermometry.","PeriodicalId":16144,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lightwave Technology","volume":"44 4","pages":"1588-1595"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146116858","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fiber structure comprises a pure SiO<sub>2</sub> cladding, a GeO<sub>2</sub>-doped core, and B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-doped stress-applying parts (SAPs). The finite element method (FEM) was utilized to analyze the complex relationships between material characteristics and geometric attributes. Initially, birefringence was evaluated by contrasting ideal circular cross-sections with those of elliptical geometry. The effects of SAP location and diameter on both the distribution of stress and resulting birefringence were quantitatively assessed. Furthermore, the influence of material variation was studied, focusing on the impact of SAP numerical aperture (NA) as it relates to B<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> concentration. To mitigate deformation stemming from thermal expansion mismatch, the introduction of a Ge-Al-co-doped cap encasing the core was explored. This cap substantially lessened stress disparities between the core and adjacent materials, thereby enhancing mechanical reliability, while maintaining effective birefringence. The results offer actionable guidance for the design optimization of PLMA DCF systems.","PeriodicalId":16144,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lightwave Technology","volume":"44 4","pages":"1512-1521"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146116924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While most existing studies have focused on short-range scenarios, its implementation over long distances has been less explored. In this work, we propose a long-distance TGI system based on an ultra-long random fiber laser (RFL). We experimentally demonstrate, for the first time, that strong temporal intensity correlations exist between the pump-side and remote-side outputs of such an ultra-long RFL, making it highly suitable for long-range TGI. The pump-side output serves as the probe light, which is modulated by the temporal object and then transmitted over a 50-km fiber link before being detected by a slow photodetector. High-fidelity reconstruction of the temporal object is successfully achieved at the remote side by correlating the integrated signal from the slow detector with the random intensity fluctuations of the remote-side output. Moreover, by employing compressed sensing algorithms, the number of required realizations is substantially reduced while achieving a higher peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR). Our work leverages the unique properties of RFLs, including their long fiber length, inherent random intensity fluctuations, and intracavity temporal correlations—for TGI applications, thereby overcoming key challenges in long-distance TGI and providing a promising new approach for highly reliable long-range optical signal processing and communication.","PeriodicalId":16144,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Lightwave Technology","volume":"44 4","pages":"1461-1467"},"PeriodicalIF":4.8,"publicationDate":"2025-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146116909","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
