  • Abstract
    The wavelength-dependent transmission characteristics of biconical tapers fabricated from single-mode fibres of depressed cladding are examined. The wavelength response is found to be oscillatory with large modulation depths. We describe here a simple fabrication technique which produces narrow passband filters of low loss and high extinction ratio (>30dB).
