Micromachining structured optical fibers using focused ion beam milling

Materials Science 2016-09-02 v1

Abstract

A focused ion beam is used to mill side holes in air-silica structured fibres. By way of example, side holes are introduced in two types of air-structured fibres (1) a photonic crystal four-ring fibre and (2) a 6-hole single ring step index structured fibre.
