Gold, silver and titanium were used as a metal which fulfilled a cladding function for a small diameter structure. For simulation Mode Solution software was used on which modal and frequency analyses of a wavelength were provided in the range of 800–1700 nm. A displacement of a plasmon pick in dependence of thickness of a deposited precious layer for the highest plasmon effects was observed.}, type={Article}, title={Influence of a thin metal layer on a beam propagation in a biconical optical fibre taper}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/116107/PDF-MASTER/pan_doi_blank.pdf}, keywords={optical fibre technology, tapered technology, plasmon effect, precious metal layer}, }
