Abstract :
Reports a practical optical fibre up-taper unitary structure consisting of a fibre pigtail followed by a short up-taper followed by a uniform cylindrical section (straight tip). This self-aligning ×5 beam expansion element exhibits an insertion loss of <0.1 dB and allows for simple mechanical mounting and beam alignment
