Abstract: A method for generating vapour bubbles in an object comprises introducing a composition into the object, the composition comprising carbon-based nano- or microparticles that can couple with a photon wave of electromagnetic radiation. The method also comprises irradiating said object using electromagnetic radiation. The irradiation thereby is adapted for using a set of carbon-based nano- or microparticles for subsequently forming first vapour bubbles and at least second vapour bubbles using the same carbon-based nano- or microparticles.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to system and method for cleaning an end face of a bare optical fiber (100). The system and methods include inserting the end face of the bare optical fiber (100) through a layer of material (500) that includes electrospun fibers.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic connector including a connector body having a front end and a rear end. A shutter is mounted at the front end of the connector body. The shutter is moveable relative to the connector body between an open position and a closed position. The fiber optic connector includes an optical fiber having an end face that is accessible at the front end of the connector body when the shutter is in the open position. The fiber optic connector also includes a cleaning material provided at an inner side of the shutter that covers the end face of the optical fiber when the shutter is in the closed position.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a fiber optic connector including a connector body (122) having a front end and a rear end. A shutter (74) is mounted at the front end of the connector body (122). The shutter (74) is movable relative to the connector body (122) between an open position and a closed position. The fiber optic connector (69) includes an optical fiber (100) having an end face that is accessible at the front end of the connector body (122) when the shutter (74) is in the open position. The fiber optic connector (69) also includes a cleaning material (501) provided at an inner side of the shutter (74) that covers the end face of the optical fiber (100) when the shutter (74) is in the closed position.

Abstract: A splice with core-writing technology includes: (a) two fiber ends aligned and separated by a gap in a mechanical alignment system containing a polymerizable resin composition and photoinitiators; (b) the core bridge is written by launching UV or visible light through one or both fibers to be connected; and (c) the cladding is formed by flooding light or by thermal curing of polymerizable material to obtain the required refractive index contrast for waveguiding. The splice can be between two fibers, one of which is a connectorized stub. The fibers can be arranged in parallel or in optical alignment with a reflective device.
