Fabricating Nanoporous Silica Structure on D-Fibres through Room Temperature Self-Assembly

Fabricating Nanoporous Silica Structure on D-Fibres through Room Temperature Self-Assembly

The room temperature deposition of self-assembling silica nanoparticles onto D-shaped optical fibres (“D-fibre”), drawn from milled preforms fabricated by modified chemical vapour deposition (MCVD), is studied. Vertical dip-and-withdraw produces tapered layers, with one end thicker (surface coverag...
