Ultrahigh transmission optical nanofibers

We present a procedure for reproducibly fabricating ultrahigh transmission optical nanofibers (530 nm diameter and 84 mm stretch) with single-mode transmissions of 99.95 ± 0.02%, which represents a loss from tapering of 2.6  ×  10−5 dB/mm when normalized to the entire stretch. When controllably laun...
