Key Points

  • To evaluate how the fabrication atmosphere affects the taper transmission loss of fluoride fibres.
  • Processed ZBLAN fibre in controlled argon environment
  • Measured taper transmission loss quantitatively
  • Investigated surface morphology using optical and electron microscopy
  • Significant reduction in transmission loss observed in argon environment
  • Marked contrast in losses compared to tapers made in ambient air
  • Surface morphology analysis showed differences related to the fabrication atmosphere

Abstract

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.
