Abstract
A novel selective filling technique has been developed for the patterning
of semiconductor materials in microstructured optical fibers (MOFs) based
on waveguide curing of epoxy filled capillary holes. The technique is compatible
with the high pressures required for the semiconductor deposition and allows
for quick and convenient selective filling, or coating, of complex designs
in a range of MOF hole sizes and spacings. A variety of semiconductor filled
MOFs have been demonstrated including the patterning of different materials
within selected holes. The ability to selectively fill MOFs with multiple
semiconductor materials is a step towards developing arrays of both passive
and active all-fiber optoelectronic devices.
