  • Monitoring techniques for the manufacture of tapered optical fibers 
    Mullaney, Kevin; Goncalves Correia, Ricardo; Staines, Stephen E.; James, Stephen W.; Tatam, Ralph P. (OSA Publishing, 2015-10-01)
    The use of a range of optical techniques to monitor the process of fabricating optical fiber tapers is investigated. Thermal imaging was used to optimize the alignment of the optical system; the transmission spectrum of ...
  • Monitoring the fabrication of tapered optical fibres 
    Mullaney, Kevin; Correia, Ricardo; Staines, Stephen; James, Stephen W.; Tatam, Ralph P. (SPIE, 2017-04-23)
    A variety of optical methods to enhance the process of making optical fibre tapers are explored. A thermal camera was used to both refine the alignment of the optical components and optimize the laser power profile during ...
  • Novel highly sensitive protein sensors based on tapered optical fibres modified with Au-based nanocoatings 
    Urrutia, Aitor; Bojan, Kartheka; Marques, L.; Mullaney, Kevin; Goicoechea, Javier; James, Stephen W.; Clark, M.; Tatam, Ralph P.; Korposh, Sergiy (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2016-08-08)
    In this work, novel protein sensors based on tapered optical fibres modified with Au coatings deposited using two different procedures are proposed. Au based coatings are deposited onto a non-adiabatic tapered optical fibre ...
  • Optimised process for fabricating tapered long period gratings 
    Mullaney, Kevin; Staines, Stephen; James, Stephen; Tatam, Ralph P. (SPIE, 2017-04-23)
    The process of fabricating tapered long period gratings (TLPGs) using a CO2 laser is described. TLPGs with a period spacing of 378 μm, were fabricated by optimization of the taper waist diameter and careful control of the ...
  • Optimized process for fabricating ultra-short tapered long period gratings 
    Mullaney, Kevin; Staines, Stephen; James, Stephen; Ralph, Tatam (IEEE, 2017-11-03)
    The process of fabricating tapered long period gratings (TLPGs) using a CO2 laser is described. The objective of this work is to optimize the CO2 laser based fabrication of TLPGs so that their transmission spectra are ...
  • Wavelength-locking of a semiconductor laser using an electronic technique 
    Mullaney, Kevin; Hodgkinson, Jane; Staines, Stephen; Tatam, Ralph P. (SPIE, 2019-03-04)
    This work describes a novel system to control the stability of a 1583 nm telecommunications laser diode via measurement of junction voltage. This electronic technique dispenses with the optical components used in ...
