Photonic crystal fibre tapers and devices

Abstract :
Tapering (heat treatment after fabrication) can radically change the properties of photonic crystal fibres over centimetre lengths. Such transitions give useful fibre devices, including low-loss interfaces to dissimilar fibres, waveguides and other optical systems.
