This work demonstrates the tunability of tapered single mode fiber (SMF) and tapered polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) filters based on fiber twisting method. One end of the tapered fiber was twisted from 0o until 100o using the Vytran Fiber Processing System. Observation on the spectral output...
