| Abstract: | Prompted by the recent interest in nano-wires, this paper reports on the successful production of very small diameter (submicron), low-loss tapers in single mode fibre. This approach gives a convenient single mode launch into the tapered waveguide or micro-wire and conserves the single mode throughout the structure. Results from couplers fabricated by twisting two such structures together and other related phenomena are reported. |
