5 September 2014Formation of sub pico-liter liquid periodic structure in a hollow optical fiber for photonic device applications
We report a unique technique to generate a liquid periodic structure whose unit volume is as low as a few hundred
femto-liter. Liquids such as water, toluene and ethanol were filled in a hollow optical fiber (hole diameter of 8 and
13μm), which were locally heated by a traversing miniature electric furnace. The periods between droplets could be
varied flexibly in the range from 14 to 100μm and the volume of individual droplet was in the range from 112 to 845
femto-liter. We also fabricated the periodic liquid droplets with quantum dots, whose fluorescence was successfully
measured in each droplet. These periodic liquid droplets could serve as flexible liquid long period fiber grating for the
hollow optical fiber, which can be further applied in various mechanical and bio-chemical sensors
