Mode Transforming Properties of Tapered Single-Mode Fiber Microlenses [PDF]
, 1993 The Gaussian approximation that is typically used to estimate single-mode fiber microlens performance is investigated. It is applied to hemispheric lenses on two types of tapered single-mode fiber. Theoretical and experimental results are compared.

High Sensitivity Fiber Interferometric Strain Sensors Based on Elongated Fiber Abrupt Tapers
Micromachines, 2022 We demonstrate high-sensitivity fiber strain sensors based on an elongated abrupt taper. The fiber abrupt taper, with a tapered diameter ranging from 40–60 μm, was made by using a hydrogen microflame to break the waveguide adiabaticity so as to convert ...

Tapered silicon optical fibers
Optics Express, 2010 The tapering of silicon optical fibers is demonstrated using a fusion splicer. The silicon fibers are fabricated using a high pressure chemical deposition technique to deposit an amorphous silicon core inside a silica capillary and the tapering is performed in a separate post-process.

Tapered optical fibers as tools for probing magneto-optical trap characteristics [PDF]
, 2009 We present a novel technique for measuring the characteristics of a magneto-optical trap for cold atoms by monitoring the spontaneous emission from trapped atoms coupled into the guided mode of a tapered optical nanofiber.

Tapered GRIN fiber microsensor
Optics Express, 2014 The sensitivity of an optical fiber microsensor based on inter-modal interference can be considerably improved by tapering a short extension of the multimode fiber. In the case of Graded Index fibers with a parabolic refractive index profile, a meridional ray exhibits a sinusoidal path.

Performance Analysis of the Four-Wave Mixing Effect with Various Tapered Fiber Waist Diameters
Photonics, 2023 In this work, we report the use of different waist diameters of tapered fiber to generate a four-wave mixing (FWM) effect. The FWM conversion efficiencies obtained from the tapered fiber with 10 µm, 20 µm, and 30 µm waist diameters were −37.81 dB, −38.50

Tapered photonic crystal fibers
Optics Express, 2004 We demonstrate the tapering of a photonic crystal fiber to achieve a microstructure pitch of less than 300 nm. We probe the tapered fiber in the transverse geometry to demonstrate the scaling of the photonic bandgaps associated with the microstructure.

Transmittance of tapered photonic crystal fibers with absorbing coatings [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2020 The interaction of the adiabatically tapered photonic crystal fiber fundamental mode with a thin-film absorbing coating, deposited on a surface of a taper waist, on transmission of a tapered fiber is studied.
