Area of Science:

Photonics
Optical Engineering
Materials Science

Background:

Efficient mode conversion is essential for integrating standard single-mode fibers (SMF) with novel photonic components.
Subwavelength-diameter microfibers offer unique light confinement properties but require efficient coupling from standard fibers.

Purpose of the Study:

To design and fabricate a tapered fiber for efficient mode conversion from SMF to subwavelength microfiber.
To achieve high transmittance and a significant reduction in mode area.

Main Methods:

Numerical simulations were employed to optimize the tapered fiber morphology for fundamental mode transmittance.
Direct laser writing (DLW) was used to fabricate the designed tapered fiber on a cleaved SMF tip.

Main Results:

Simulations predicted a transmittance of approximately 86%.
Fabricated devices achieved 77% transmittance at 1550 nm wavelength.
Effective mode area was reduced from 38 μm² to 0.47 μm² over a 150 μm length.

Conclusions:

The DLW technique is versatile for fabricating efficient fiber-to-chip mode converters.
This method significantly boosts mode conversion efficiency, paving the way for advanced photonic applications.
