Advanced functional fibers represent a convergence of multiple disciplines, spanning optical waveguides, optoelectronics, electronics, micro-/nanofabrication, biointerfaces, and wearable devices. This book highlights the emerging applications and technological innovations of diverse optical and electronic fibers, distinguished by their functional structures and materials. The book is organized into ten chapters. A brief description of each of the chapters follows:
Chapter 1
provides a comprehensive review of the recent advances in silica fiber-2D-materials integration technology that has allowed high-performance photonic and optoelectronic applications. The basic properties of several mainstay 2D materials and their heterostructures, the design principles of fiber-2D-materials integrations, the current and potential applications, and the challenges and opportunities in this field are discussed.
Chapter 2
introduces the common methods used to produce semiconductor optical fibers that are amenable to optoelectronic and nonlinear optical applications. The versatility of laser processing offers additional functionality, such as bandgap engineering and microstructuring, while tapering can tailor the core diameter for realizing nonlinear applications.
Chapter 3
presents the precision sensing technologies relying on processed optical fiber-based interrogation methods to achieve wearable sensors. The viability of such wearable optical sensors has motivated extensive research toward developing 2D flexible optical components and exploring other sensing utilities for building a healthy environment and revolutionizing healthcare services.
Chapter 4
reviews the in situ and continuous monitoring of the activities of clean energy devices over the whole power transfer chain. In-fiber grating-assisted plasmonic sensors for real-time electrochemical and photochemical sensing are summarized, leading to the understanding and evaluation of the operation quality of energy storage devices in active service.
Chapter 5
discusses fiber optofluidic laser as an exciting area of lab-on-fiber technology that integrates optical fiber, laser, and microfluidics to achieve high-performance biochemical sensing. It not only inherits the advantages of lasers, including high sensitivity, high signal-to-noise ratio, and narrow linewidth, but also the unique characteristics of optical fiber, such as easy integration, high reproducibility, and low cost.
Chapter 6
presents 2 μm ultrafast fiber lasers using Tm
3+
or Ho
3+
as the gain medium with the output wavelength at around 2 μm and the pulse width within ps or fs. Such laser has broad application prospects in the fields of space optical communication, mid-infrared pumping, lidar, emerging non-metallic material processing, and medical and life sciences.
Chapter 7
covers the development of optogenetic technology with the basic principles of optogenetic modulation of neural activities and the design considerations of fiber-based probes. The advances of several main types of fiber-based probes for optogenetics, such as glass fiber probes, nonstretchable polymer fiber probes, and stretchable polymer fiber probes, are summarized.
Chapter 8
reports a comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art fiber-based neural probes and their applications in neuroscience. Thermally drawn multimaterial fibers, including the design principle, fabrication methods, and their versatile applications, are overviewed.
Chapter 9
discusses the recent development of a scalable manufacturing approach to the realization of fiber-embedded integrated photonics and optoelectronic circuitry. Drawing inspiration from very-large-scale integration (VLSI), VLSI-for-Fibers harnesses 3D printing, and melt-processing of multimaterial fiber preforms to materialize arbitrarily complex architectures typical of integrated circuitry in fibers.
Chapter 10
presents the recent development of inorganic thermoelectric fibers made by different fabrication methods such as electrospinning, two-step anodization process, solution-phase deposition method, focused ion beam, and self-heated 3
ω
method. Some techniques, such as thermal drawing, are also discussed to achieve high-performance fiber-based thermoelectric devices for wearable devices and smart electronics.
I thank all the chapter authors for their outstanding contributions. Moreover, I thank Nanyang Technological University for its constant support. Finally, express my sincere gratitude to my family and friends for their support and encouragement.
