Description:
The ‘‘Lab-on-Fiber ’’ technology essentially envisages a novel class of advanced, multifunctional photonic devices and components arising from the integration onto optical fibers of different materials at micro and nano-scale. This emerging technology is opening the way for the developing of novel miniaturized “all-in-fiber” devices exploitable for both communication and sensing applications, with unique and unprecedented performances with respect to traditional devices. Although the benefits provided by such a technology can be easily understood, many research efforts are still required to translate the vision in a consolidated technological reality. In this context, we present a reliable fabrication process involving conventional deposition and nano-patterning techniques (typically used for planar devices) adapted to directly operate on optical fiber substrates. Following this …
