Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method for performing a multi-stage dilation of optical fibers is described, the method comprising performing successive dilation steps such that the adiabatic condition is maintained throughout the fiber. There is also described various optical devices employing such multi-stage dilated optical fibers, as well as methods of manufacture of the optical devices.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A fiber dilation method for providing a multi-stage dilated optical fiber, the method comprising the steps of: performing a first-stage fiber dilation process on an optical fiber to form a first dilated section of the optical fiber; and performing a second-stage fiber dilation process on said first dilated section of the optical fiber to form a second dilated section of the optical fiber, wherein said second dilated section is arranged such that the…
