Mathematical model of the spinning of microstructured fibres.

We construct a fluid mechanics model of the drawing of microstructured optical fibres ('holey fibres'). This model can be used to understand and quantify methods for controlling the fibre geometry. The effects of preform rotation are included to examine methods for reducing fibre birefring...
