Optimization of micro-structured fiber optic devices for super-continuum generation

Abstract

This study describes the optimized process for tapered fiber devices for an application in generating of super-continuum and a concrete example. These devices could prove very useful in bio-imaging applications. This process has been mentioned in many references, but without sufficient detail to allow other researchers can replicate in a simple and direct way. This article describes in detail the manufacturing process using a gas system in complete combustion.
