    Abstract
    Mode coupler is an important category of device in the eld of optical sensing and

    communication. Non-adiabatic ber taper has attracted much attention in recent

    years as mode coupling device due to its simple fabrication process, compactness and

    robust performance. While models exist for mode coupling in conventional adiabatic

    ber taper, there are only commercial numerical softwares for simulations of ber

    tapers, with little appreciation of the underlying coupling mechanism.

    In this thesis, a model based on coupled mode theory in non-adiabatic optical ber

    taper is proposed for the analysis and calculation of the mode coupling phenomena.

    This method is applicable for a wide range of non-adiabatic ber tapers. The result

    of the model matches well with the result from numerical simulation, and illustrates

    the mechanism of mode coupling.

    Two experiments based on non-adiabatic ber taper are implemented and dis-

    cussed in this thesis. One is laser beam shaping using abrupt ber taper and the

    other is mode interference in non-adiabatic ber taper with long uniform region. A

    at-top beam is observed in the beam shaping experiment. The relation between

    mode phase and

    at-top beam is investigated with the model.

    In the experiment of long taper, we got clear interference spectrum in the range

    of 1530 1560 nm with bandwidth about 10 nm and atteuation peak over 10 dB. We applied the model in the long ber taper and got good match between modeling and

    experiment. All this results validate the model and show the potential application of

    ber taper.
