Fiber Optic Devices Based on Tapered Fibers

  • Published:
Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The possibility of creating fiber optic devices based on tapered fibers is considered. The procedure is proposed in which tapered fibers are combined into a bundle, heated again by a hydrogen burner, and drawn using one-coordinate translators to combine them into a single whole. The resulting fiber optic devices are investigated at different wavelengths and conclusions are drawn for subsequently improving the proposed technique.
