Key Points

The aim is to measure the core and cladding diameters of tapered silica microfibers using line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT).
Utilized line-field confocal optical coherence tomography (LC-OCT) for measurements.
Focused on tapered silica microfibers.
Monitored changes in core and cladding diameters during the tapering process.
First-time measurements of core and cladding diameters in tapered microfibers were obtained.
The findings show the evolution of these diameters as the microfiber tapers.
Results suggest potential for refining models of optical mode propagation.

Study measures core and cladding diameters in tapered microfibers, indicating potential improvements in optical mode models.

Abstract

We present for the first time to our knowledge measurements of the evolution of the core and cladding diameters in tapered silica microfibers using LC-OCT. The results could help refine models of propagation of optical modes in tapers.
