| contents | Low cost heat-and-pull rig for manufacturing adiabatic optical fiber tapers Yamile Cardona Maya Nelson Gómez Cardona Pedro Ignacio Torres Trujillo Ingeniería sensors tapering adiabaticity Optical fiber In this paper we report the fabrication of adiabatic tapered optical fibers using a low cost heat-and-pull rig. Our setup is based on the flame-brushing technique moving in zigzag, where an inexpensive and simple portable gas micro-torch is used as heating device. Since this method does not require an electronic system to control the gas flow rate, makes out taper rig an attractive alternative, low-cost, and trivial to implement. The feasibility of such a heat source is shown with the manufacture of low-loss tapers (<0.12 dB/mm) and diameters in the micro range. 2014 artículo científico 0120-6230 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=43030033015 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=430 Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia application/pdf Universidad de Antioquia Revista Facultad de Ingeniería Universidad de Antioquia (Colombia) Num.70 |
