| Title: | Photopolymer microtips for efficient light coupling between single-mode fibers and photonic crystal fibers | Authors: | Xiao, L Jin, W Demokan, S Ho, HL Tam, HY Ju, J Yu, J |
Issue Date: | 15-Jun-2006 | Source: | Optics letters, 15 June 2006, v. 31, no. 12, p. 1791-1793 | Abstract: | A novel method for light coupling between single-mode fibers (SMFs) and small-core photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) is demonstrated. The method is based on growing photopolymer microtips directly on the end faces of SMFs. The shape and size of the tips can be controlled by adjusting the laser power and the exposure time for polymerization to match the mode field to the small-core PCFs. A 5 dB improvement in coupling efficiency between a SMF and a commercial small-core, highly nonlinear PCF is experimentally demonstrated. This compact and efficient butt-coupling method is particularly suitable for PCF gas sensor applications. | Keywords: | Chemical sensors Light transmission Photons Photopolymerization |
