title: Compound parabolic tapered fiber for fiber coupling with a highly divergent source.
abstract: A novel fiber tapering shape, which is based on compound parabolic geometry, is proposed to increase the acceptance angle of a compound parabolic concentrator. The proposed design is described by use of ray optics on a step-index multimode fiber.
