Major Field of Science: | Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | Electrical Engineering - Electronic Engineering - Information Engineering | Keywords: | Microstructure optical fibers;Heat transfer;Microfluidics | Issue Date: | 24-Nov-2014 | Source: | Materials, 2014, vol. 7, no. 11, pp. 7566-7582 | Volume: | 7 | Issue: | 11 | Start page: | 7566 | End page: | 7582 | Journal: | Materials | Abstract: | A finite element analysis (FEA) model has been constructed to predict the thermo-fluidic and optical properties of a microstructure optical fiber (MOF) accounting for changes in external temperature, input water velocity and optical fiber geometry. Modeling a water laminar flow within a water channel has shown that the steady-state temperature is dependent on the water channel radius while independent of the input velocity. There is a critical channel radius below which the steady-state temperature of the water channel is constant, while above, the temperature decreases. However, the distance required to reach steady state within the water channel is dependent on both the input velocity and the channel radius. The MOF has been found capable of supporting multiple modes. Despite the large thermo-optic coefficient of water, the bound modes’ response to temperature was dominated by the thermo-optic coefficient of glass. This is attributed to the majority of the light being confined within the glass, which increased with increasing external temperature due to a larger difference in the refractive index between the glass core and the water channel. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/4142 | ISSN: | 19961944 | DOI: | 10.3390/ma7117566 | Rights: | © Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology | Publication Type: | Peer Reviewed |
