Title :
Optical fiber as a conical microresonator
Author_Institution :
OFS Labs., Somerset, NJ, USA
Abstract :
High Q-factor localized conical modes are discovered theoretically and demonstrated experimentally in an optical fiber. The theory of these modes provides a means for exceptionally accurate local characterization of the optical fiber nonuniformity.
