Abstract

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) have been infiltrated within the holes of hollow-core optical fibers (HOFs) by Langmuir-Blodgett method in order to develop new in-fiber active and passive optoelectronic devices. Far field transmission characterizations demonstrated HOF's holes successful filling and the SWCNTs' capability to modify the guiding properties of HOFs. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
