In the third step, the MCF wave equation must be derived for the complex. Measured temporal profile of linear and nonlinear IC-XT between adjacent cores in a homogeneous 4-core MCF (results based on [49]). The last two approximations allow us to reduce the mathematical discussion of IC-XT.
However, in the phase-mismatching region, the mean value of the linear IC-XT decreases as RB increases. The wavelength of the optical carrier λ0 was chosen to be in the third transmission window with λ0 = 1550 nm.

Current and emerging applications
On the other hand, MCF sensors are also based on a similar concept as in the laser from the previous example [see Fig. 10(b)]. On the other hand, adaptive optics are required in TPEF microscopy to recover the initial imaging of biological tissue [ Fig. 11(c) ].

On the other hand, other exotic physical phenomena can also be explored in MCF media expanding the possibilities of classical SCFs.

- Summary
The penetration depth of the evident field and the proportion of power within this field increases in the narrowed section. One of the important concepts applied in this research is macro-bending loss. Taper changes the diameter or thickness of the fiber, which allows redistribution of modes in the core or eliminates modes.
By adjusting the alignment between the two cladding fibers, the coupling strength of the apparent light can be tuned. However, if the claddings of the two cladding fibers are sufficiently closed to the correct length, the light in the cladding of the fiber will be transferred to the second fiber. The effect of etching duration leads to different core coating diameters of fiber pairs.
Physical surface of (a) etch (b) post-etch fiber and (c) fiber breakage due to embrittlement. The circular block functions to hold the etched fibers while the fibers will be bent according to the bend radius of the circular blocks. The tapered area of the fiber faces outwards from the groove and will be overlapped with the other tapered surface so that coupling or splitting between the two fibers can occur.
The larger the bending radius of the elliptical shapes, the longer the overlap area between the two overlap cores. This expression will be used to vary the distance between two fibers with different loading Fc and accordingly the coupling efficiency of the splitter can be determined.

Plastic Optical Fibre Sensor System Design Using the Field Programmable Gate Array
Optical fibre sensor systems
Light is guided by an optical fiber from the light source to the optical receiver. A change in the properties of the transmitted light through the sensor can be created by different physical mechanisms. Recently, the application of the optical fiber has been expanded from being primarily a communication medium to being used as a sensor.
A directional light source emits the majority of the light in one direction and with a narrow distribution angle. The spectral bandwidth of the detector must also be aligned with the light source spectrum and the spectral transmittance of the sensor. In considering the use of the LED and photodiode based arrangement, the digital subsystem must provide the necessary digital-analog-digital signal interface.
The output of the photodiode is a current that is proportional to the intensity of the input light received. The photodiode characteristics (light intensity range and wavelength range that can be detected) must match the LED light source, otherwise the measurements will not accurately reflect the behavior of the measured quantity. The light source (Figure 5) is either an LED, low-cost laser diode (a) or a white light.
To identify examples of developed systems, Table 1 summarizes the characteristics of five reported systems. Each component can be implemented using different technologies and the choice of implementation depends on the requirements of the application.
The field programmable gate array
The LUT can handle any kind of logic function, but the complexity of the LUT depends on the manufacturer. Today, a range of FPGAs are available from different vendors. Table 2 provides a summary of the devices available from the key programmable logic vendors. The main differences between CPLD and the FPGA are in the device architectures and the complexity of functions that its basic unit is capable of performing.
The configuration will initially be downloaded to the FPGA memory from an external circuit in the form of a bitstream file. Hardware-configured devices such as However, the FPGA can provide benefits to system capacity and operation if the FPGA's characteristics were known and the ability to design with the FPGA existed. But how to create a design using programmable logic, specifically with reference to FPGA?' is an important question to ask.
The details of the design flow would be specific to a particular device vendor, and each vendor would provide an integrated development environment (IDE) for their devices. Starting with the design requirements and understanding the capabilities of the target FPGA, the FPGA design tool is used and the design description is created. This is particularly important for high-speed operation as the timing of signals propagating through the device must be taken into account, otherwise incorrect circuit operation may occur.
Finally, the design can be configured on the FPGA and then physical hardware testing can be undertaken. At each step, depending on the simulation and test results, it may be necessary to modify aspects of the design in order to achieve correct circuit operation.
FPGA based OFS system
Since the FPGA does not have a fixed architecture, it is not limited to a predetermined set of possible operations and it allows for a custom design that matches the operating requirements of the target application (speed, power consumption, circuit size) to be developed. In this section, the use of the FPGA is considered as a digital core (sub-section 4.2) to integrate functions (sub-section 4.3) for optical-based sensor systems. This requires a suitable control unit to be designed for controlling the other circuits configured in the FPGA.
An OFS system based on a digital core within an FPGA will need to ensure that the circuitry configured on the FPGA meets the system requirements. Such a basic system would not use much of the available hardware resources within the FPGA, and in such a case, a smaller and simpler CPLD would probably be sufficient. The power of FPGAs however becomes apparent when higher operating frequencies and integrated DSP functions are introduced.
With the increased interest in and use of the FPGA in DSP operations, recent FPGA architectures have evolved in view of fast operation and complex DSP. CLB: The configurable logic block is a basic building block of the FPGA and contains circuits such as the look-up table (LUT), a flip-flop, and a multiplexer. While discussion of the use of the FPGA has so far focused on the development of custom hardware designs, with hardware architectures tailored to the needs of a target application, it is possible and in some cases preferable to use a software programmed processor.
Therefore, the FPGA can be used to implement a processor core and thus be configured to act as a software-programmed processor. Either a predefined processor architecture can be implemented within the FPGA as an intellectual property (IP) core with a description given in Verilog-HDL or VHDL, or the designer can develop his own architecture processor.
Case study design
The purpose of this case study was to demonstrate the integration of the FPGA into an OFS system based on SPR. The developed system architecture is discussed and the strategy to implement refractive index measurement using a combination of the FPGA with a tricolor (RGB: red, green, blue) LED and photodiode is presented. The FPGA used was the Xilinx Artix-7 [36] FPGA and it was embedded in Digilent's Arty development board [37].
The digital logic operating within the FPGA was developed using VHDL design input and synthesized to the Artix-7 architecture. A separate linear voltage regulator is used to isolate the photodiode circuit from digital noise that may be present on the power supply from the FPGA board. For light signal generation, a current source is designed to control the light by a digital signal (bilevel voltage) from the FPGA.
Because a tri-color LED was used, the FPGA had to use a sequential array of . The digital output of the FPGA is fed into an op-amp-based current control circuit. The digital logic 1 and 0 values of the FPGA are represented by two voltage levels of 3.3 V and 0 V.
A USB or ZigBee serial interface is used to connect the PC to the FPGA and then to the user. It provides the system with a self-calibration capability that can be built into the hardware within the FPGA.
