Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an optical fiber having a core and a cladding, where the cladding is doped with a dopant. The cladding has a dopant concentration gradient in the radial direction such that a concentration of the dopant changes with respect to radial distance from a core-cladding interface. Doping the cladding of the optical fiber enables ablation of the fiber surface with a line source to provide an ablated wedge or crack such that cleaving can be achieved by applying a stress force to the fiber after ablation or by applying a pull force during ablation.

Abstract: A sub-micrometer pressure sensor including a multilayered magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) pillar containing a magnetostrictive material layer above or below a magnetic free layer of the multilayered MTJ pillar is provided. Advanced patterning allows for scaling of the multilayered MTJ pillar down to 25 nm or below which enables the formation of a large array of extremely high resolution pressure sensors. By varying the thickness of the magnetostrictive material layer, the sensitivity of the pressure sensor can be fine tuned. Unique magnetostrictive materials in the multilayered MTJ pillar will alter the device current with the input of external pressure. Furthermore, unique arrays with much smaller critical elements can be organized in differential sensing arrangements of the multilayered MTJ pillar with pressure sensing capability that can outperform current piezoelectric based pressure sensing arrays.
