Thanks to an all solid core photonic crystal fiber (PCF) used as a multicore fiber, we propose and experimentally demonstrate what is to our knowledge a new optical detection scheme for the spontaneous emission collection of cold atoms. A Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT) is placed in front of a polished PCF end-face. As they display a higher optical index than the surrounding cladding silica, the 108 rods (equivalent to a 108 pixels camera) of this PCF are light guiding and behave like an array of detectors. Both global and local properties of the trapped atoms are probed. A MOT lifetime is reported. We also take advantage of the multi-core geometry for a real time detection of the center-of-mass motion of the atomic cloud.

Rapid and accurate determination of target proteins in cells provide essential diagnostic information for early detection of diseases, evaluation of drug responses, and the study of pathophysiological mechanisms. Traditional Western blotting method has been used for the determination, but it is complex, time-consuming, and semi-quantitative. Here, a tapered seven-core fiber (TSCF) biosensor was designed and fabricated.

In this Letter, we propose for the first, to our knowledge, time, to mitigate the multi-input-multi-output (MIMO) equalizer-enhanced noise (EEN) in coupled-core multicore fiber (CC-MCF) systems by utilizing the spectral shaping (SS) filter and maximum likelihood sequence detection (MLSD), which have shown effective EEN mitigation in SMF systems. However, CC-MCF systems feature multiple spatial channels, each requiring separate coefficient optimization for SS filters corresponding to each output of MIMO.

A series of TFBGs with varying tilt angles were directly inscribed in MCFs using the Plane-by-Plane (Pl-by-Pl) method, and the writing time for a 4 mm long TFBG was only 3.60 s.

Article Synopsis
- - The multicore fiber amplifier is essential for advanced spatial division multiplexing (SDM) communication, but it has more complex challenges than traditional single-core systems, prompting the search for a more efficient solution.
- - An innovative triple cladding 13-core Er/Yb co-doped microstructured fiber (13CEYDMOF) is proposed to balance performance factors like efficiency and cost, featuring unique peanut-shaped air holes that improve excitation and reduce fiber size.
- - Experimental results show that the 13CEYDMOF achieved impressive performance metrics, including an average gain of 23.8 dB and a low noise figure, making it suitable for transmitting 13 spatial channels effectively in the telecommunication band.
We report the fabrication and characterization of a multi-core anti-resonant hollow core fiber with low inter-core coupling. The optical losses were 0.03 and 0.
