Principle of fused taper:

The optical fiber taper system uses vacuum adsorption and special fixtures to position and clamp two or more optical fibers on the optical platform, and rotates the two or more bare fibers without coating in a certain way, brings the axes (only for polarization-maintaining fibers) closer, heats and melts them under hydrogen-oxygen flame, and stretches them to both sides at a certain speed, eventually forming a special waveguide structure in the form of a double cone in the heating area, thereby achieving the purpose of making various optical fiber coupling devices and optical fiber tapers.
