We demonstrated real-time control of micro/nanofiber waist diameter during fiber pulling
process with ultrahigh accuracy and precision. A 785 nm CW laser was coupled into SMF …

Subwavelength diameter micro/nanofiber (MNF) provides excellent platform for many
applications. In this work, we fabricate subwavelength diameter MNFs with ultra-long waist …

Reducing the waist of an optical fiber taper to diameters below 1 µm can be interpreted as
creating an optical nanofiber with propagation properties different from conventional optical …

We propose an engineered microfiber with nano-scale slots that produce ultra-flattened and
low dispersion of±10 ps/(nm· km) over a 340 nm wavelength range. It is comparable with the …

Optical nanofibers (ONFs) of sub-wavelength dimensions confine light in modes with a
strong evanescent field that can trap, probe, and manipulate nearby quantum systems. To …

We experimentally demonstrate a convenient technique for in situ fine group velocity
dispersion (GVD) tailoring in optical microfibers via dielectric nanocoatings. This was …

A microfiber biconically tapered from a standard optical fiber shows obvious sinusoidal
oscillatory transmission spectrum due to the multimode interference, with evident blue …

We demonstrate a low-cost, high-sensitivity, all-fiber microcantilever sensor, a fiber-to-tip
microcantilever sensor (FTMS). In this sensor, a nanosize fiber tip serves as both …

We demonstrate a convenient and simple method to determine nanofiber diameters
nondestructively using a hemispherical microfiber tip probe. For a fixed-tip geometry and …
