NOVELTY – The method for accessing and filling internal structure of micro-structured optical fibers, involves accessing the lateral holes of fiber micro-structure, and applying heat and pressure on micro-structured optical fiber. The hole allows the filling of fiber with liquids or gases, keeping its two ends to be optically accessed by enabling the alignment of optical fiber before the insertion of the material. USE – Method for accessing and filling internal structure of micro-structured optical fibers. DETAILED DESCRIPTION – An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for an optical fiber.
