Perfluorinated Plastic Optical Fiber Tapers for Evanescent Wave Sensing

Perfluorinated Plastic Optical Fiber Tapers for Evanescent Wave Sensing

In this work we describe the fabrication and the characterization of perfluorinated plastic-cladded optical fiber tapers. The heat-and-pull procedure has been used to fabricate symmetric tapers. Devices with different taper ratio have been produced and the repeatability of the process has been verif...
