Power density of the evanescent field in the vicinity of a tapered fiber

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The power density in the vicinity of a tapered fiber is calculated, with the vectorial model of step-index circular waveguides. For the fundamental HE11 mode carrying a power of 1 Watt, we show that it is possible to obtain theoretical densities in the range of 108 W/cm2 at the fiber surface. The promising use of such intense evanescent fields as “atomic mirrors” is considered, and the feasibility of these guides is investigated.
