Research demonstrates reduced taper transmission loss with fluoride fibre in argon, suggesting improved efficiency.
We report a significant reduction in taper transmission loss by processing ZBLAN fibre under a controlled argon environment. The contrast between tapers processed under argon and ambient air is highlighted through quantitative loss measurement as well as by investigating the surface morphology of the tapers using optical and electron microscopy.
