Novel Optical Fibers and Devices.

Abstract

Investigation into the design and fabrication of high dispersion optical fiber is presented. Once fabricated, this high dispersion fiber could be used in signal processing and communications systems. A novel optical switch that is fabricated using highly over-coupled couplers (HOCC) is also presented. By changing the length of the fused taper section of 2 x 2 coupled fiber, the ratio of the power of the two outputs will change. This device can also be used for strain measurement as well as for modulation. (MM)
