Abstract
We introduce a nano-optical platform based on Bloch surface waves (BSWs) capable of exploiting the entire cleaved end facet of a multicore optical fiber. Interconnecting various fiber cores with BSWs directly at the end of a multicore fiber opens the perspective of highly compact complex optical functionalities for the design of “lab on fiber” devices. In counterpart, optical fibers provide a unique opportunity to obtain turnkey nano-optical functions addressing a vast application domain ranging from telecommunications to medical sensing. To show the full potential of our platform, we demonstrate a multiplexing function between three fiber cores.
