Abstract
In this work, we report, for the first time, the fabrication of a permanent helically twisted polymethylmethacrylate microstructured polymer optical fiber through a fiber post-processing technique. The fabrication of this structure allowed the creation of spectral resonances at the low-loss region of the fiber. This novel structure will allow the creation of new smart flexible devices with fields of application in sensors and short-range communications.
