摘要： There is described an optical waveguide structure exhibiting nonlinear properties, a method of fabricating such, and an optical coupling device made of two of such optical waveguide structures. The optical waveguide structure comprises an optical waveguide portion made of a light transmitting material for supporting a light mode traveling therein. The light transmitting material has an intrinsic nonlinearity parameter suitable for inducing a nonlinearity on the light mode, and the optical waveguide portion having a diameter sized to securely confine the light mode therein and to increase the nonlinearity on the light mode. The optical waveguide structure also has a coating surrounding the optical waveguide portion to mechanically support or to protect the optical waveguide portion from surface damage.

摘要： Optical fibers and optical fiber tapers have application within many optical systems and optical devices. To date manufacturing such fibers and fiber tapers has been restricted to drawing constant diameter fibers in gravity driven processes and symmetric tapers through pulling with localized heating. However, it would be beneficial to be able to generate arbitrary profiles when pulling an optical fiber into a fiber taper allowing an initial uniform section, reducing transition, wire section, increasing transition and final uniform section. Further, the technique further allows novel optical fiber geometries to be fabricated, which the inventors refer to a hybrid tapers wherein additional elements such as coatings, which provide mechanical and environment protection, may be incorporated into the initial preform and processed simultaneously with the fabrication of the optical taper such that the final fabricated hybrid tapers are mechanically robust and handlable thereby improving manufacturing yield and reducing cost.
