Compound Parabolic Tapered Fiber for Fiber Coupling with a Highly Divergent Source

A novel fiber tapering shape, which is based on compound parabolic geometry, is proposed to increase the acceptance angle of a compound parabolic concentrator. The proposed design is described by use of ray optics on a step-index multimode fiber. (C) 2004 Optical Society of America.
