To achieve a higher coupling between them, a polymer tapered pillar was fabricated on the end face of the SMF by applying the optical diffraction effect and a self-written waveguide technology using a high numerical aperture (HiNA) fiber. The initial 10.4 µm spot size was reduced to 4.17 µm at 1.55 µm wavelength, and the greatest coupling efficiency of –1.01 dB was reached between an SMF with a tapered pillar and uncured resin cladding and a HiNA fiber.

Graphene oxide and reduced graphene oxide are especially interesting because they are produced relatively easily, cheaply and quickly. Among many possible applications, reduced graphene oxide is a good candidate for sensor applications. Its properties can be controlled at the production stage. The precursor used and the method of oxidation have a significant influence on its properties. Therefore, it is worth take a closer look at them. In this paper we analyse the influence of the oxidation method on the size of the reduced graphene stock which determine the sensitivity of the rGO layer. We used AFM microscopy for this purpose.

Moreover, the research demonstrated the possibility of preserving the desired molecular orientation of liquid crystal initially stabilized by placing the sample in the external electric field. This was achieved by simultaneously irradiating the sample and controlling the orientation of liquid crystal molecules with the electric field.

A fiber optic glass ferrule filled with a solution of Rhodamine 6G in glycerin was used for the basic construction of the light source. The ferrule is coupled with optical fibers to illuminate the dye medium and to receive the fluorescent signal. A tuning of the light spectrum from the source between 528 nm and 660 nm with a shift of 1 nm is achieved by means of a monochromator. Full Text: PDF ReferencesN. Hoinka and T.

The analysis were carried out for three type of ridges and grooves shape in grating coupler: rectangular, triangular and sinusoidal. Full Text: PDF ReferencesI. . Singh, A.Weston, A. Kundur, G.
