Low-Cost 3D Printer Drawn Optical Microfibers for Smartphone Colorimetric Detection

Low-Cost 3D Printer Drawn Optical Microfibers for Smartphone Colorimetric Detection

A fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printer extruder was utilized as a micro-furnace draw tower for the direct fabrication of low-cost optical fibers. An air-clad multimode microfiber was drawn from optically transparent polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG) filament. A custom-made spooling coll...
