Paper Abstract
The paper contains description of chosen aspects of analysis and design of tailored optical fibers. By specialty optical
fibers we understand here the fibers which have complex construction and which serve for the functional processing of
optical signal rather than long distance transmission. Thus, they are called also instrumentation optical fibers. The
following issues are considered: transmission properties, transformation of optical signal, fiber characteristics, fiber
susceptibility to external reactions. The technology of tailored optical fibers offers a wider choice of the design tools for
the fiber itself, and then various devices made from these fiber, than classical technology of communication optical
fibers. The consequence is different fiber properties, nonstandard dimensions and different metrological problems. The
price to be paid for wider design possibilities are bigger optical losses of these fibers and weaker mechanical properties,
and worse chemical stability. These fibers find their applications outside the field of telecommunications. The
applications of instrumentation optical fibers combine other techniques apart from the photonics ones like: electronic,
chemical and mechatronic.
