Abstract

This work presents, for the first time, a twisted microstructured optical fiber (MOF) featuring seven GeO2-doped capillaries located in the central region of the MOF cross-section, along with induced twisting. A series of tests and measurements were conducted, involving multiple attempts to splice typical telecommunication optical fibers with the fabricated MOFs, accompanied by an assessment of insertion losses. Additionally, spectral characteristics were measured for both individual and grouped WDM (Wavelength Division Multiplexing) channels within a commercially available telecommunication WDM system, utilizing a 2-meter fiber segment to connect various sections of a short-range laboratory fiber-optic link.
