Components for Single Strand Multimode Fiber Systems.

Abstract

The development of a technique for the determination of the geometrical characteristics of a taper pulled in a fiber is described in this report. This technique uses the deflection of a light beam due to the taper. The insertion loss of a taper has been experimentally investigated as a function of the modal index of the fiber both with the taper immersed in air and a high index fluid (diiodomethane). The results of these experiments show that the higher order modes are more easily out-coupled by the taper than the lower order modes.
