Tapered optical fibre sensors employing nanostructured coatings

Tapered optical fibres have been manufactured, characterised and studied. These are compact devices made from single-mode optical fibre. A system for producing tapers has been developed, employing flame heating of the optical fibre and computer controlled rotation stages to stretch the fibre in a co...
