Abstract: A method of fabricating a photonic crystal or photonic band gap optical fiber comprises providing a preform that includes a plurality of holes in an outer diameter, wherein the holes extend from a first end of a preform to a second end of the preform, and forming at least one radially inwardly-extending slot within the preform such that the slot intersects at least some of the holes, wherein the slot does not intersect at least one hole. The method also includes establishing a first pressure in the holes intersected by the slot by introducing the first pressure to the slot, and establishing a second pressure in the at least one hole not intersected by the slot by introducing the second pressure to an end of the at least one hole not intersected by the slot. The method further includes drawing the preform into a fiber while independently controlling the first and second pressures.

Abstract: A preform for forming a hollow-core, slotted photonic band-gap (PBG) optical fiber for use in an environmental sensor, and methods of forming such a fiber using the preform are disclosed. The preform comprises a slotted cladding tube that surrounds a slotted, hollow-core PBG cane. The slots in the cladding tube and PBG cane are longitudinally formed and substantially aligned with each other. When the preform is drawn, the slots merge to form an elongated side opening or slot in the resulting hollow- core PBG fiber. In one case, the slot reaches the hollow core upon drawing, while in another case a second step is used to extend the slot to connect to the hollow core. The fiber is used to form an environmental sensor for sensing the presence of a target substance in an environment. The slot formed in the PBG region of the fiber forms a ridge waveguide wherein a portion of the light that otherwise is confined to the hollow core as a bound mode travels in the slot. The target substance affects the light traveling in the fiber, allowing for the target substance to be detected.
