Invited - Impact of fabrication atmosphere on fluoride fibre tapering loss
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.
