  • Patent number: 7754114
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing an optical fiber probe in which an optical fiber is formed as an optical fiber probe by etching a tip section and sharpening a core region of the optical fiber, the optical fiber is a polarization maintaining optical fiber including the core region, a stress-applying region, and a clad region. The optical fiber probe is formed by mechanical-grinding of the edge of the optical fiber into a sharpened shape so that the core region is located at the tip of a sharpened portion, and by dipping the formed edge of the optical fiber in an etchant for further sharpening the core region. Accordingly, a new optical fiber probe both with high transmission efficiency and with a large polarization degree is obtained.

  • Publication number: 20090061228
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of preparing solid particulates and solid particulates prepared by using the method. The method of preparing solid particulates includes dissolving an organic or inorganic compound in a first solvent to provide an organic or inorganic compound-included solution, dispersing the organic or inorganic compound-included solution in a second solvent to provide an emulsion, and concentrating the emulsion in a dispersing medium to precipitate the organic or inorganic compound as solid particulates to provide a dispersion including the solid particulates. The first solvent is an organic solvent or an aqueous solvent, and the second solvent is an organic solvent or an aqueous solvent that is not compatible with the first solvent.
