Abstract :
The biconic tapered fiber has been fabricated using flame elongation technique by heating and stretching a piece of single mode fiber (SMF). Intermodal interference occurs in the abrupt biconic tapered fiber. The modulated spectral response was characterized to determine the strain effect. It was found that the shifting of peak modulated spectral response was well matched to the phase change introduced by Michelson-type transmission equation.
