Conventional optical fiber processing restricts fiber cross-sections to circular geometries. In response to demands for other geometries that are more conducive to high power transmission, Finland's Liekki has developed a nanoparticle deposition technology that allows it to produce optical fibers with square or rectangular cross-sections. Advantages of the new fibers are expected to include improved matching to optical sources, improved beam control and transmission, and fiber routing flexibility.
