    Polymer microstructured optical fibres with ring-shaped holes enable novel light guidance. These fibres exhibit single-mode behaviour for longer lengths, behaving like layered fibres due to their unique structure.

    Area of Science:

    • Photonics
    • Materials Science
    • Optical Engineering

    Background:

    • Polymer microstructured optical fibres offer fabrication advantages over glass.
    • Novel microstructures are achievable in polymer fibres, overcoming limitations of traditional methods.
    • Ring-based hole arrangements present a unique design in microstructured fibres.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present and analyze a class of polymer microstructured optical fibres with holes arranged in circular rings.
    • To investigate the single-mode properties of these ring-structured fibres.
    • To develop and validate a theoretical model for predicting fibre behaviour.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of a polymer microstructured optical fibre with ring-patterned holes.
    • Experimental characterization of fibre mode properties for varying lengths.

  • Development of an average index model for theoretical analysis.
  • Numerical comparison of model predictions with exact structure calculations.

    • Main Results:

    • The fabricated fibre is single-moded for longer lengths and multi-moded for shorter lengths.
    • The average index model accurately predicts the fibre's optical properties.
    • Ring structures effectively emulate homogeneous rings of lower refractive index.

    Conclusions:

    • Polymer microstructured optical fibres with ring-structured holes are a viable platform for novel optical applications.
    • The developed average index model provides a useful approximation for analyzing these fibres.
    • The fibres exhibit behaviour analogous to cylindrically layered structures, offering design flexibility.
