Selective coating of holes in microstructured optical fiber and its application to in-fiber absorptive polarizers.
An interesting feature of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) is that their properties can be adjusted by filling or coating of the holes. Some applications require selective filling or coating, which has proved experimentally demanding. We demonstrate selective coating of MOFs with metal and use it to fabricate an in-fiber absorptive polarizer.
