| Title: | Fusion splicing small-core photonic crystal fibers and single-mode fibers by repeated arc discharges | Authors: | Xiao, L Jin, W Demokan, S |
Issue Date: | 15-Jan-2007 | Source: | Optics letters, 15 Jan. 2007, v. 32, no. 2, p. 115-117 | Abstract: | We demonstrate a novel method for low-loss splicing small-core photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) and single-mode fibers (SMFs) by repeated arc discharges using a conventional fusion splicer. An optimum mode field match at the interface of PCF-SMF and an adiabatic mode field variation in the longitudinal direction of the small-core PCF can be achieved by repeated arc discharges applied over the splicing joint to gradually collapse the air holes of the small-core PCF. This method is simple and offers a practical solution for light coupling between small-core PCFs and SMFs. | Keywords: | Electric discharges Interfaces (materials) Laser fusion Sensors |
