Abstract :
In order to further improve the optical efficiency of the optical fiber image slicer, we designed an embedded microstructure fiber slicer. To reduce the transmission loss, we designed and fabricated a large-heating-zone moving planner-flame taper system to manufacture the fiber slicer. We studied the influence of the heating-zone, reasonable heating-zone could improve the device quality. As the heater is mobile and there is air holes in the perform, the heating temperature must be in accurate range.
