Preparation of panda-shaped photonic crystal fibers with and without silver wire

A method of preparing panda-shaped photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) based on secondary drawing technology is proposed in this paper. The secondary drawing can not only reduce fiber diameter but also reduce core size by adding a glass sleeve. Silver-filled and non-silver-filled panda PCFs are prepared. The two ends of silver-filled panda PCF are connected with a broadband light source and a spectrometer, respectively, and the surface plasmon resonance phenomenon is detected. The secondary drawing technology provides a meaningful reference for the preparation of PCF in the future, and the prepared silver-filled panda PCF can be prepared into an optical fiber filter.
