摘要

Abstract

As miniature fibre-optic platforms

micro/nanofibres (MNFs) taper-drawn from silica fibres have been widely studied for applications from optical sensing

nonlinear optics to optomechanics and atom optics. While continuous-wave (CW) optical waveguiding is frequently adopted

so far almost all MNFs are operated in low-power region (e.g.

< 0.1 W). Here

we demonstrate high-power low-loss CW optical waveguiding in MNFs around 1550-nm wavelength. We show that a pristine MNF

even with a diameter down to 410 nm

can waveguide an optical power higher than 10 W

which is about 30 times higher than demonstrated previously. Also

we predict an optical damage threshold of 70 W. In high-power CW waveguiding MNFs

we demonstrate high-speed optomechanical driving of microparticles in air

and second harmonic generation efficiency higher than those pumped by short pulses. Our results may pave a way towards high-power MNF optics

for both scientific research and technological applications.
