Functionalizing microstructured polymer optical fibre

Presented by Felicity Cox and Helmut Yu (OFTC)

Injecting new materials into the holes of microstructured polymer optical fibre (mPOF), or incorporating dopants in the polymer core itself leads to dramatic changes in the light guiding properties of these fibres. This talk will focus on functionalizing mPOF and cover the topics of embedding nanoparticles, in-fibre surface enhanced Raman scattering for chemical sensing, the fabrication of a fibre polarizer as well introducing novel fibre designs for chemical sensing applications.
