title: Measurement of the far field intensity distribution of a bent and cleaved fiber taper.
abstract: We have theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated mode conversion in fiber tapers subject to large adiabatic bending. The far field intensity distribution of the taper mode is imaged in part by cleaving the taper at the position of minimum diameter.
