Abstract
Tapered optical fibers have been fabricated using a flame elongation technique. The evanescent field distribution surrounding the taper region has been measured directly using a scanning near field optical microscope and results are found to be in good agreement with predictions made using a finite difference beam propagation method.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
