| description | We fabricated a tapered optical fiber usiug a Vytran fiber tapering workstation which utilizes a filament as the heat source. The tapered fibers were fabricated with varying dimensions in order to study their effects on the
transmission properties. The tapers were characterized by
monitoring their transmission during and after tapering
process. These transmissions were normalized to the
transmission spectra of the untapered fiber. Taper angle was
found to influence the transmission with larger angle
contribute to a higher losses. Power loss of the best taper
parameter is about 40 percent which resulted by small taper
angle of 5.7mrad. Overall length of the taper also affects the transmission with shorter taper having a longer free spectral range (distance between two successive peaks in the
transmission spectrum). |
