The presented fiber is made of polycarbonate and displays single-mode behavior. The fiber attenuation was the lowest reported so far for a POF drawn from a 3D-printed preform across a broad range of wavelengths. In addition, extensive fiber characterization results are presented and discussed including: fiber attenuation, mode simulations, dynamic thermomechanical analysis and thermo-optic coefficient. Fiber Bragg gratings are successfully inscribed in the produced fiber using three different lasers: a continuous wave helium-cadmium laser, a pulsed femtosecond frequency doubled ytterbium laser and ultra-violet nanosecond krypton fluoride laser. Mechanical testing of the fiber showed that the 3D printing approach did not introduce any unexpected or undesirable characteristics. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/19444 | ISSN: | 15581748 | DOI: | 10.1109/JSEN.2020.3003469 | Rights: | © IEEE | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Aston University Technical University of Denmark Universitat Politècnica de València Universidade Federal do Espirito Santo Cyprus University of Technology Universidade de Aveiro |
