Fibril-associated Collagen01:11

Fibril-associated Collagen

Fibril-associated collagens are a type of collagens present in the extracellular matrix with interrupted triple helices or FACIT (Fibril-associated collagens interrupted triple-helices). FACIT help connect and attach the collagen fibrils with each other as well as with other proteins of the extracellular matrix.
For example, the type II collagen fibrils in cartilage have covalently bound type IX fibril-associated collagens at regular intervals. Other types of fibril-associated collagens are...
X-ray Crystallography02:18

X-ray Crystallography

The size of the unit cell and the arrangement of atoms in a crystal may be determined from measurements of the diffraction of X-rays by the crystal, termed X-ray crystallography.
Diffraction
Diffraction is the change in the direction of travel experienced by an electromagnetic wave when it encounters a physical barrier whose dimensions are comparable to those of the wavelength of the light. X-rays are electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths about as long as the distance between neighboring...

Area of Science:

  • Photonics
  • Optical Engineering
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Conventional Bragg fibers rely on high index rings for light guidance.
  • Existing structures can suffer from unwanted cladding modes, limiting performance.
  • Low refractive index contrast waveguides present an alternative design approach.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and characterize a new Anti-Resonant Reflecting Optical Waveguide (ARROW) fiber.
  • To investigate the guiding properties of a novel structure utilizing discontinuous high index inclusions.
  • To demonstrate enhanced performance compared to traditional Bragg fibers.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of a novel ARROW fiber with discontinuous high index inclusions (HII).
  • Characterization of the fiber's optical properties, including mode field diameter (MFD).
  • Analysis of light guidance mechanisms, focusing on Photonic BandGap (PBG) effects.

Main Results:

  • The new ARROW fiber exhibits true Photonic BandGap (PBG) guidance.
  • A Mode Field Diameter (MFD) of 26 μm was achieved at 1400 nm.
  • Single Mode (SM) behavior was observed for fiber lengths beyond 1 m at wavelengths above 1400 nm.

Conclusions:

  • The developed ARROW fiber with discontinuous HII offers superior guiding properties.
  • This design effectively limits cladding modes, enhancing overall performance.
  • The fiber shows potential for single-mode operation in optical communication systems.
