    摘要: A system for exciting flexural waves on an optical fiber (102) is provided. The system includes a substrate (114, 118), an actuator (106), and a mechanical optical fiber coupling (104). The actuator is formed of an electromechanical transducer material. The actuator is mounted on the substrate. The mechanical optical fiber coupling (for example, an adhesive media) forms a secure mechanical connection between the actuator and the optical fiber. The mechanical optical fiber coupling is configured for communicating mechanical vibrations from the actuator to the optical fiber. However, it should be understood that the mechanical optical fiber coupling is exclusive of a tapered horn.

    摘要: A method for fabricating tapered optical fibers is provided. The method includes applying thermal energy at a location defined along an elongated length (114, 116, 118) of an optical fiber (112). The method also includes varying the location in a first direction of travel at a predetermined rate along the elongated length of the optical fiber while applying a tension to the optical fiber. The method further includes removing the tension when the location is outside a first portion (116) of the elongated length. According to an aspect of the invention, the method includes transitioning from the first direction of travel to a second direction of travel opposed to the first direction of travel when the location is within a second portion (114) of the optical fiber. The method further includes transitioning from the second direction of travel to the first direction of travel when the location is within a third portion (118) of the optical fiber.
