Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
The invention relates to a tapered optical fiber and a method and drawing tower for producing such an optical fiber. The tapered optical fiber comprising a core region that is capable of guiding light along a longitudinal axis of said optical fiber and a cladding region surrounding said core region. The optical fiber comprises a tapered section arranged between a first longitudinal position and a second longitudinal position, said tapered section comprising a first taper section having a first length, L 1 , over which the optical fiber is tapered down to a taper waist, and a second taper section having a second length, L 2 , over which said optical fiber is tapered up.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A tapered microstructured optical fiber for super continuum generation comprising a plurality of a first type of element haying first element diameter, d f , being arranged at a pitch of Λ, wherein said tapered optical fiber comprises a core region that is capable of guiding light at a first wavelength along a longitudinal axis of said optical fiber and a cladding region surrounding said core region, said optical fiber comprising a tapered section arran…
