Abstract

In this work we report sliver mirror coated Deep Seated Negative Axicon (DSNA) optical fiber tip which significantly reduces the output power loss and increases the percentage Bessel-Gauss beam power output as compared to non-coated DSNA. The silver mirror has been deposited on the cladding of a highly Ge doped single mode double clad optical fiber using Tollen’s reagent and Glucose solution. DSNA is fabricated after deposition of the silver mirror. This coated DSNA is compared with a non-coated DSNA for measured output power by coupling with a He-Ne Laser. The measurement shows that after coating 88% of the total output power is contributing to the formation of Bessel-Gauss beam whereas it is just 30% in case of non-coated DSNA. The power in central spot of the Bessel-Gauss beam has also been increased from ~7% to ~12% of the power contributing in Bessel-Gauss beam generation. This silver mirror coated DSNA fiber tip could significantly improve the image contrast, Signal to noise ratio and sensitivity of the DSNA based Common-path optical coherence tomography system.
