Progress and Prospect of Microstructured Optical Fibers
The structure and performance advantages of microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) have aroused an immense interest from researchers both locally and internationally, and the MOF emerges as a hot spot in the field of optoelectronics. Currently, according to the structure, MOF can either be solid-core or hollow-core. With respect to the transmission mechanism, they can be categorized as total internal reflection MOF, photonic bandgap MOF, and anti-resonant MOF. The important applications of MOF can be found in laser technology, optical sensing technology, optical communication technology, optoelectronic integration, and optical fiber devices. This paper conducts a review on the development history of MOF, presents a comprehensive analysis and summary of their various types, transmission mechanism, design, and fabrication, and provides a reference for exploring new research directions and applications of MOF in the future.
