Abstract

We proposed that nanomaterials can be used to change the characteristics of standard fibers. After two stages, preform fabrication and fiber drawing, a novel inner cladding fiber with InP nano thin film has been successfully fabricated by the means of MCVD. The thickness of the InP film is about 60nm. The electric field distribution is simulated through the FEM. It is shown that the InP nano film can confine the electric distribution in the core. In addition, it is calculated that the effective refractive index n_eff=1.585.
