Interfacing telecom fibers and silicon core fibers with nano-spikes for in-fiber silicon devices

• We report fabrication of tapered silicon core fibers with nano-spikes enabling efficient optical coupling into the core, as well as their seamless integration with single mode fibers. A proof-of-concept integrated in-fiber silicon device is demonstrated.
