Optical Fiber Micro-Nano Axicon : Principles and Applications

This is a foundational book on axicon at single-mode optical fiber tip. This book highlights the development of micro and nano optical axicon elements at the single‐mode optical fiber tips. It demonstrates the interesting optics experiments and applications in the frontier of photonics research across various domains. The experimental results presented in the book chapter wise provide strong evidence that the optical fiber axicon tip can work as an ideal optical platform capable to address interdisciplinary research problems with the help of its optics. The authors tried their best to correlate the importance of the axicon optics by introducing the present developments, both in theory and experiment, with the topics covered in different chapters.
