Polarization coupling in single-mode single-polarization optical fibers.
Polarization coupling in single-mode, single-polarization optical fibers is investigated, and a set of coupled-mode equations for single-mode, single-polarization fibers including guided and leaky modes is derived.
متن کاملMode-size converter with high coupling efficiency and broad bandwidth.
An ultralow coupling loss and broad bandwidth fiber-to-waveguide mode-size converter is demonstrated for nano-scale waveguides on SOI platform using CMOS technology in this paper. The mode-size converter consists of a cantilevered PECVD SiO(2) waveguide and a-Si nano-tapers by removing the adjacent SiO(2) layer and underlying substrate Si. The a-Si waveguide is located at the center of the cant...
متن کاملSingle-mode fiber microlens with controllable spot size.
A novel method for fabricating microlenses on tapered single-mode fibers is shown to be able to control the lens spot size. The fiber cladding is first symmetrically tapered by etching it with an evaporating ammonium bifluoride solution. A hemispheric lens is then melted on the taper tip with a CO(2) laser. The lens can reduce the fiber mode radius to 40% of its original value. A theoretical ca...
متن کاملHighly efficient coupling of photons from nanoemitters into single-mode optical fibers.
Highly efficient coupling of photons from nanoemitters into single-mode optical fibers is demonstrated using tapered fibers. A percentage (7.4 ± 1.2%) of the total emitted photons from single CdSe/ZnS nanocrystals were coupled into a 300 nm diameter tapered fiber. The dependence of the coupling efficiency on the taper diameter was investigated and the coupling efficiency was found to increase e...
متن کاملInterferometric coupling of the Keck telescopes with single-mode fibers.
Here we report successful interferometric coupling of two large telescopes with single-mode fibers. Interference fringes were obtained in the 2- to 2.3-micrometer wavelength range on the star 107 Herculis by using the two Keck 10-meter telescopes, each feeding their common interferometric focus with 300 meters of single-mode fibers. This experiment demonstrates the potential of fibers for futur...
