Tapers in single-mode optical fibre by controlled core diffusion
Abstract
A method of obtaining tapered single mode fibre cores by controlled thermal diffusion of the dopant is described. The mechanical fibre dimensions are maintained during this process. Extended tapers have been produced, which show an increased tolerance to longitudinal and transverse offsets. Such tapers will prove useful for a range of optical fibre components.

“The fibers coupled to the chip are TEC SMFs, whose mode-field diameters have been increased from 5 to 10 μm in the region near their exit facets, 31,35,36 boosting the expected overlap with the adiabatically compressed 8 μm × 11 μm elliptical waveguide modes from 68 to over 96%, corresponding to a 41% improvement over unmodified SMFs”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
