Brief

Tapered optical fibers are a developing area of research due to their highly sensitive and adaptable properties that can be used for a wide range of sensing applications. This article does not discuss a "single-mode thin-core fiber incorporating an abrupt taper." However, it does offer a comprehensive review of tapered optical fiber sensing technology.

Summary

This article, published in 2024 in the journal Photonics, reviews fused tapered fiber optic sensing. The authors, Siqi Ban and Yudong Lian, explain that this technology is important for areas like sensing and laser generation because of its high sensitivity, ease of integration, and ability to monitor in real-time. The paper reviews different structures of tapered optical fiber sensors and how they work. Finally, the authors describe how tapered optical fiber sensors are used, including for biosensing, environmental monitoring, and in industrial settings.
