Microstructured optical fibres have been described as the 'next generation' of optical fibres, because of their ability to produce tailorisable optical effects. Our success in producing these fibres in polymer was a world-first. This project will yield a fundamental understanding of the fabrication process, so that for any fibre design the optimal drawing conditions can be determined and maintained for extended draws. This will allow improved draw reproducibility and fibre uniformity so that commercial quality fibres can be produced at economic rates. We will establish quantitative relationships between drawing parameters and optical properties, thus developing optimal designs and production processes.

微结构光纤被描述为“下一代”光纤，因为它们能够产生可定制的光学效果。我们成功生产这些聚合物纤维是世界首创。该项目将使人们对制造过程有一个基本的了解，以便对于任何光纤设计，都可以确定最佳的拉丝条件并维持以进行延长的拉丝。这将提高拉伸再现性和纤维均匀性，从而能够以经济的速度生产商业质量的纤维。 我们将建立拉伸参数和光学性能之间的定量关系，从而开发最佳的设计和生产工艺。
