Abstract

In this paper, tapering process of glass capillary for fabrication of optical fiber components is studied. Tapering equipment with propane flame burner is built and tapering experiments of 1.25mm-diameter glass capillary using flame scanning technique are carried out. Additionally, FEM simulation on fluid dynamics of the capillary tapering process is performed using Comsol Multiphysics. With the simulation and the experiment results, relation of the tapering parameters and defects formation is analyzed, and the optimized tapering process is achieved.
