Ultra-low-loss optical fiber nanotapers

Optical fiber tapers with a waist size larger than 1µm are commonplace in telecommunications and sensor applications. However the fabrication of low-loss optical fiber tapers with subwavelength diameters was previously thought to be impractical due to difficulties associated with control of the surf...
