    Abstract: Improved photonic band-gap optical fibre. The present invention relates in particular to improved photonic band-gap optical fibres that can confine light to a core region of the fibre by the action of both a photonic band-gap cladding and an antiresonant core boundary, at the interface between the core and cladding. According to embodiments of the present invention, a fibre has a core, comprising an elongate region of relatively low refractive index, a photonic bandgap structure arranged to provide a photonic bandgap over a range of wavelengths of light including an operating wavelength of light, the structure, in a transverse cross section of the waveguide, surrounding the core and comprising elongate relatively low refractive index regions interspersed with elongate relatively high refractive index regions and a relatively high refractive index boundary at the interface between the core defect and the photonic bandgap structure, the boundary having a thickness around the core such that the boundary is substantially anti-resonant at the operating wavelength of the fibre. In preferred embodiments, the core boundary is a relatively constant thickness region of glass around a hollow core.

    Abstract: In one aspect, a method is provided for molding from glass complex optical components such as lenses, microlens, arrays of microlenses, and gratings or surface-relief diffusers having fine or hyperfine microstructures suitable for optical or electro-optical applications. In another aspect, mold masters or patterns, which define the profile of the optical components, made on metal alloys, particularly titanium or nickel alloys, or refractory compositions, with or without a non-reactive coating are provided. Given that molding optical components from oxide glasses has numerous drawbacks, it has been discovered in accordance with the invention that non-oxide glasses substantially eliminates these drawbacks. The non-oxide glasses, such as chalcogenide, chalcohalide, and halide glasses, may be used in the mold either in bulk, planar, or power forms. In the mold, the glass is heated to about 10-110null C., preferably about 50null C., above its transition temperature (Tg), at which temperature the glass has a viscosity that permits it to flow and conform exactly to the pattern of the mold.

    Abstract: A hollow optical fiber 10 has an intermediate dielectric layer 12 interposed between an inner periphery side dielectric layer 11 facing a hollow core portion 10a and a metal layer 13. The inner periphery side dielectric layer 11 is formed of calcium fluoride. The intermediate dielectric layer 12 is formed of yttrium fluoride. Metal of the metal layer 13 can be prevented from dispersing into the dielectric layers 12, 11 by the intermediate dielectric layer 12 formed of yttrium fluoride. The hollow optical fiber 10 is manufactured by vapor depositing calcium fluoride on an outer peripheral surface of an acid-soluble glass tube 20 (base material), then vapor depositing yttrium fluoride on its outer peripheral surface, then vapor depositing a metal layer formed of silver, gold or the like on its outer peripheral surface, and thereafter, dissolving the glass tube 20 with acid.

    Abstract: A method of making core holes in cast cladding glass for fabricating optical fiber preforms to make single and multimode optical fibers. Liquid cladding glass is pored into a casting mold having a metallic wire that is translated through the liquid glass as it cools so that the wire essentially carves out a smooth cylindrical core hole along the cylindrical axis of the cooled cladding glass. The method substantially reduces surface contamination at the interface of the core hole and the cladding glass because any liquid glass that comes in contacts with the metallic wire is removed during the process, leaving behind a pristine glass surface.
