This work proposes a novel polarization-maintaining hollow-core anti-resonant fiber structure characterized by high birefringence and low transmission loss. Designed for consistent fundamental-mode operation, HC-ARFs offer stable, high-quality beam. To address the inherent trade-off between birefringence and confinement loss, a Pareto-front-based multi-objective optimization algorithm is.

Abstract: We proposed and demonstrated a novel practical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) fabrication setup constructed with high performance linear stages, piezoelectric translation (PZT) stages, and a highly stable continuous wave laser. Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors have emerged as advanced tools for monitoring a wide range of physical parameters in various fields, including structural health, aerospace, biochemical, and environmental applications. These microscopic structures within optical fibers have become the bedrock of cutting-edge sensor.

This tutorial provides an overview of SDH/SONET, covering basics, HDLC framing, terminologies, rates, and the SONET STS-1 SDH Frame. SONET (Synchronous Optical Network) and SDH (Synchronous Digital Hierarchy) serve the same purpose: communication over optical. Synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) and synchronous optical network (SONET) refer to a group of fiber-optic transmission rates that can transport digital signals with different capacities. Its vast capacity needs to be accessed by a protocol that can support high data rates of up to 10 Gbit/s per wavelength or, in the future, 40 Gbit/s. This course will cover the basic concepts and network architectures of SDH and DWDM networks, as.

This paper presents a comprehensive review of AI-enhanced OFS technologies, encompassing both localized sensors such as fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), Fabry–Perot (FP) interferometers, and Mach–Zehnder interferometers (MZI), and distributed sensing systems based on. The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with optical fiber sensing (OFS) is transforming the capabilities of modern sensing systems, enabling smarter, more adaptive, and higher-performance solutions across diverse applications. In 2023, researchers turned submarine cables into earthquake warning systems and gave electric vehicles "optical nerves" to prevent battery failures. Over the last three decades, fiber optic sensors (FOS) have gained a lot of attention for their wide range of monitoring applications across many industries, including aerospace, defense, security, civil engineering, and energy.
