Technical research of a new type of optical fibre with ultra-low-loss and large effective area by Di HAN, Hua XIAO, Yuan ZHONG, Xuegang LAO, Chao HAN

“…The technical solutions of double-cladding waveguide structure and pure SiO₂core were taken,the G.654.E type ULA-130 fibre ultra-low-loss and large effective area was realized by F-doping design and optimization of the viscosity match between core and caldding.Then the study on various optical characteristics of the ULA-130 fibre was carried out,utilizing self-built optical fibre nonlinear coefficient measurement system and self-designed optical fibre macro-bending loss winding device,as well as the avaliable techniques.The attenuation coefficient,effective area and nonlinear coefficient at 1 550 nm of the ULA-130 fibre was 0.159 dB/km,133 μm²and 1.67×10^-10W^-1separately.According to the theoretical calculation and technical analysis,the ULA-130 fibre posseses excellent attenuation and nonlinear performance,which is applicable in high capacity,high bitrate and long-range optical backbone network system.Compared to conventional G.652.D fibre,the ULA-130 fibre could improve the optical singal-noise ration and the performance of transmission system dramatically.…”

Challenges in “probing spectroscopic probes” for noninvasive simultaneous disease diagnosis by Lopamudra Roy, Shweta Paul, Amrita Banerjee, Ria Ghosh, Susmita Mondal, Monojit Das, Monojit Das, Nivedita Pan, Ishitri Das, Soumendra Singh, Debasish Bhattacharya, Asim Kumar Mallick, Samir Kumar Pal

“…In this study, we report noninvasive spectroscopic measurements of total haemoglobin (Hb), bilirubin, and the ratio of oxy- and deoxyhaemoglobin as disease markers for anaemia, jaundice, and oxygen deficiency, respectively, using a meticulously designed optical fibre probe. The challenges in designing the fibre probe for simultaneous noninvasive detection, including optical power, spectral density of the probing light, and resolution of the spectrometer, were found to be critical to accurate measurements. …”
