Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to invite you to submit a manuscript to the Photonics Special Issue, “Optical fiber sensors with a specialty fiber tip”.

Optical fiber sensors with an engineered specialty fiber tip present unique advantages for both long-distance sensing and localized detection, e.g., remote sensing, environment monitoring, in situ clinical imaging or biosensing, etc. The specialty fiber tip shapes the incident light and enhances the interaction signal with the targeted objects, making optical fiber sensors with this type of fiber tip outstanding candidates for both fundamental science and practical applications.

This Special Issue aims to collect and share advanced research and developments, both theoretical and experimental, in optical fiber sensors with a specialty fiber tip and related applications. Submissions can be in the form of an original research paper or review. We are encouraging research areas covering (but not limited to):

  • Fabrication of optical fibers with a specialty fiber tip;
  • Fiber-optic sensors;
  • Fiber with nano-optics;
  • Tapered fibers;
  • Nanofibers.

I look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Chaoyang Ti

Optical traps formed in hollow-core fibers (HCFs) can overcome several limitations of conventional free-space optical tweezers. One of the key issues is to load particles from free space into the hollow core with high efficiency, in which process the capture dynamics of the particles in front of the HCF endface plays an important role. In this work, a comprehensive model of the trapping and capture process of the dielectric particles in front of HCF is established by taking into account the features of the fiber modes and the motional parameters of the particles. Stable capture positions are predicted based on analytical calculations of optical forces, and the dependencies of the equilibrium axial trapping position on the beam numerical aperture, the fiber core and particle diameters are provided. In addition, the trajectories and the capture dynamics of the particles are studied by solving the equation of motion for the particles under the impact of optical forces, predicting feasible parameter ranges of the initial amplitude and direction of particle launch velocity for achieving successful particle capture in front of HCF. The results can provide guidance for further improving the particle-loading efficiencies of the HCF-based optical traps, which may find applications of flying particle sensors and long-range particle binding in HCFs.
