Abstract

See full text

A delivery system for filling a microstructured or nanostructured optical fiber (MOF/NOF) includes a MOF/NOF having first and second ends. The first end of the MOF/NOF is disposed in a first chamber configured to have a first pressure, and the second end of the MOF/NOF is disposed in a second chamber configured to have a second pressure that is less than the first pressure. A material source introduces a material into the first chamber. A light source is oriented to emit light into one of the ends of the MOF/NOF. An optical detection system for monitoring filling of the MOF/NOF detects the light emitted by the light source from the other of the ends of the MOF/NOF.
