摘要：

This paper studies the acoustooptic interaction induced by an acoustic flexural wave among the optical propagation modes supported by tapered optical fibers. We have investigated the;evolution of the acoustooptic resonance condition as the fiber is progressively tapered, showing that the taper radius can be regarded as a new degree of freedom in the design of acoustooptic filters. Finally, we demonstrate a novel acoustooptic filter based on nonuniform tapers for dynamic gain flattening of optical fiber amplifiers.
