A generic three-stage stack-and-draw method is demonstrated for the fabrication of complex-microstructured optical fibers. We report the fabrication and characterization of a silica superlattice microstructured fiber with more than 800 rhomboidally arranged air-holes. A polarization-maintaining fiber with a birefringence of 8.5 × 10 is demonstrated. The birefringent property of the fiber is found to be highly insensitive to external environmental effects, such as pressure.
展示了一种用于制造复杂微结构光纤的通用三阶段堆叠拉伸方法。我们报告了一种具有800多个菱形排列气孔的二氧化硅超晶格微结构光纤的制造和表征。展示了一种双折射为8.5×10的保偏光纤。发现该光纤的双折射特性对外部环境影响（如压力）高度不敏感。
