  • Abstract
    The reduction of excess loss in practical single-mode fibre tapers requires the local taper angle to be smaller than an intuitive value. This qualitative criterion is quantified for various taper shapes. For a given taper length, loss is minimal for shapes which are similar to the shape obtained by assuming the intuitive value of angle everywhere along the taper.
