Adiabatically tapered periodic segmentation of channel waveguides for mode-size transformation and fundamental mode excitation.
We report modeling, fabrication, and characterization of tapered waveguides, using periodically segmented annealed proton exchange in LiNbO(3). For a taper transforming the 1/e full width (intensity) mode size from 6.0 microm x 4.4 microm to 2.0 microm x 1.3 microm, 0.4-dB excess loss was observed. The large, slightly elliptical mode can ease coupling to single-mode fibers and circular free-spa...
متن کاملTapered Holey Fiber
Adiabatically tapered holey fibers are shown to be potentially useful for guided-wave spot-size and numerical aperture conversion. Conditions for adiabaticity and design guidelines are provided in terms of the effective index model. We also present finite-difference time-domain calculations of down-tapered holey fiber, showing that large spot size conversion factors are obtainable with minimal ...
متن کاملA nanodiamond-tapered fiber system with high single-mode coupling efficiency.
We present a fiber-coupled diamond-based single photon system. Single nanodiamonds containing nitrogen vacancy defect centers are deposited on a tapered fiber of 273 nanometer in diameter providing a record-high number of 689,000 single photons per second from a defect center in a single-mode fiber. The system can be cooled to cryogenic temperatures and coupled evanescently to other nanophotoni...
متن کاملAdiabatically tapered hyperbolic metamaterials for dispersion control of high-k waves.
Hyperbolic metamaterials (HMMs) have shown great promise in the optical and quantum communities due to their extremely large, broadband photonic density of states. This feature is a direct consequence of supporting photonic modes with unbounded k-vectors. While these materials support such high-k waves, they are intrinsically confined inside the HMM and cannot propagate into the far-field, rend...
متن کاملAdaptable Optical Fiber Displacement-Curvature Sensor Based on a Modal Michelson Interferometer with a Tapered Single Mode Fiber
A compact, highly sensitive optical fiber displacement and curvature radius sensor is presented. The device consists of an adiabatic bi-conical fused fiber taper spliced to a single-mode fiber (SMF) segment with a flat face end. The bi-conical taper structure acts as a modal coupling device between core and cladding modes for the SMF segment. When the bi-conical taper is bent by an axial displa...
