Growth of zinc oxide nano-rods on optical fibers for optical interconnects and side coupling applications / Hoorieh Fallah

The thesis introduces a novel concept that utilizes the scattering properties of Zinc Oxide (ZnO) nanorods to control light guidance and leakage inside optical fibers. ZnO rods scatter the light at larger angle than the critical angle inside the fiber. Hence, part of the incident light is coupled in...
