Microfluidic Flows and Heat Transfer and Their Influence on Optical Modes in Microstructure Fibers

A finite element analysis (FEA) model has been constructed to predict the thermo-fluidic and optical properties of a microstructure optical fiber (MOF) accounting for changes in external temperature, input water velocity and optical fiber geometry. Modeling a water laminar flow within a water channe...
