OptiBPM Applications
Photonic Crystal Fiber Temperature Sensor using OptiMode
Photonic crystal fibers (PCF) have been extensively investigated for chemical, bio-medical, and environmental sensing applications. PCF provides a unique platform for realizing the desired modal dispersion, birefringence, confinement, and multiplicity characteristics. This can be attributed to the freedom in designing the microstructure geometry. Of significant importance for sensing applications, various chemical, biological, and inorganic materials…
Photonic Crystal Fiber Bio-chemical Sensor using OptiMode
Photonic crystal fibers (PCF) are attractive for chemical, biomedical, and environmental sensing applications. The freedom in designing the microstructure geometry provides a unique platform for realizing the desired modal dispersion, birefringence, confinement and multiplicity characteristics. Of significant importance to these features, chemical, biological and inorganic materials can be introduced to the PCF by selective hole…

Create a Chip-to-fiber Butt Coupler
This lesson describes how to create a chip-to-fiber coupler. You will create a model of a simple spot-size transformer based on lateral tapering, as reported in [1]. Highly efficient chip-to-fiber coupling with large alignment tolerances is important for applications of optoelectronic integrated semiconductor devices. Such coupling requires a low-loss change of the light beam spot…
