Abstract
We demonstrated light confinement in a subwavelength-diameter
silica core by addincxg a Bragg multilayer cladding. The output beam properties
of Bragg fiber taper were studied using a beam propagation method (BPM), and
the result showed a 34% stronger light confinement than that of air-clad silica
taper. We optimized the shape of silica core and the Bragg multilayer structure.
An ${\rm HE}_{11}$ mode-shaped
beam with a wavelength of 0.85$\mu{\rm m}$ and a full-width at half-maximum (FWHM)
of 0.75 $\mu{\rm m}$ was
successfully generated by 1.1-$\mu{\rm
m}$-core Bragg fiber tapers. Our devices may have applications
in nanophotonics and nonlinear optics.
