Abstract

In this paper, we report the fabrication of concave surface fiber tips for optical resonators. It was confirmed that the radius of curvature on fiber end can be controlled by introducing the hydrofluoric acid solution and the wavelength of $1.55{\mu}m$ laser which is absorbed well in the etchant to induce the photothermal effect. Using the microscope images, we observed the proposed concave fiber tip fabrication method is effective to make the controllable concave tips. We also observed changes in the size of the beam emitted from the tips with the various radius of curvature using the beam profiler. The authors believe that the proposed method will be applied to resonators for optical communications.

본 논문에서는 광통신용 공진기에 필요한 광섬유의 오목한 면 제작에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 불산(Hydrofluoric acid) 용액과 이 용액에 잘 흡수될 수 있는 파장인 $1.55{\mu}m$의 레이저를 인가하여 광열효과를 유도하였고, 식각 용액에서의 광열효과를 통해 광섬유 끝단의 곡률 반경을 자유롭게 변경할 수 있는 점을 현미경 사진 촬영으로 확인하였다. 빔 프로파일러를 이용하여 제작한 결과물의 끝단에서 방사되는 빔의 크기 변화를 관측하여 유효성을 검증하였고 본 논문의 저자들은 제시한 방식이 광통신용 공진기에 적용 가능성이 있을 것으로 보고 있다.
