The important point is to precisely control the profile of the taper. Is widely applied to the fields related to optical communication and fiber laser.
In the prior art, the optical fiber is fixed on two displacement tables, the suspended part in the middle of the two displacement tables is heated by a heat source, so that the optical fiber is in a molten state, the displacement tables move in opposite directions to drive the optical fiber to stretch, and the tapered optical fiber is obtained by controlling the translation speed of the displacement tables and the temperature of a hot zone. After tapering, the fiber is divided into an unstretched region, a waist region, and a taper region. The diameter of the fiber in the unstretched region is unchanged; the diameter of the optical fiber in the waist region is uniform and is kept to be fluctuated within the range of the minimum diameter; the taper region optical fiber is changed from a large diameter to a small diameter, and the shape of the transition is uniform and excessive in straight fiber type, double-curved fiber type, exponential type and the like.
The optical fiber drawn in the prior art is influenced by the movement range of the displacement table, the length of the conical region is tens of centimeters at most, the change is not smooth enough, the uniformity of the waist region is low, and the light guiding performance of the conical optical fiber is unstable.

Because the gravity of the optical fiber is perpendicular to the stretching direction, when the stretching distance of the displacement table is too long, the taper is asymmetric due to the suspension of the optical fiber, and the light guide performance is affected.
Internal stress generated by heating the optical fiber to a molten state directly cools the optical fiber of the traditional displacement table type tapering in the air, and the shrinkage of different positions is different, so that the uniformity of the tapered optical fiber is greatly influenced.
The artificial optical fiber is easy to introduce impurities and disturbance, and the instability of the tapered optical fiber is increased.
