Hollow-core tapered coupler for large inner diameter hollow-core optical fibers Download: 543次
Abstract
A novel hollow-core tapered coupler has been theoretically designed and fabricated by fiber drawing machine. The coupler's inner wall is coated with a polycrystalline GeO2 film. The coupling loss of hollow-core tapered coupler is about 0.2 dB. Hollow-core tapered coupler reduces the transmission loss of hollow-core optical fiber (HCOF) by 0.5 dB/m, therefore the coupler is suitable for coupling high power CO2 laser in industrial application.
