  • Method for the fabrication of optical waveguide devices in photonic crystal fibers and in waveguides with hollow structures
    Patent number: 10329196
    Abstract: There is provided a method to fabricate optical taps and waveguide devices in photonic crystal fibers and other fibers with hollow structures. The method involves a preparation step, where the hollow holes inside the fiber are collapsed or partially modified locally; and a waveguide fabrication step, where a femtosecond laser is focused inside the fiber and used to produce optical waveguides that interact in the region that was previously modified in the preparation step.
    Type: Grant
