    Solution doping introduces dopants into microstructured polymer optical fibres after fabrication. This method allows controlled Rhodamine 6G doping for characterizing optical properties.

    Area of Science:

    • Materials Science
    • Optics
    • Polymer Chemistry

    Background:

    • Microstructured polymer optical fibres (mPOF) offer unique light-guiding properties.
    • Post-polymerization doping methods are needed to functionalize mPOF.
    • Existing doping techniques may lack control over dopant distribution and concentration.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To demonstrate a novel solution doping technique for mPOF.
    • To achieve uniform dopant dispersion within the fibre core.
    • To systematically vary dopant concentration and characterize the optical behavior of doped mPOF.

    Main Methods:

    • Solution doping of pre-fabricated mPOF using controlled diffusion.
    • Uniform dispersion of dopants facilitated by the fibre microstructure.
