A novel concept is introduced that utilizes the scattering properties of zinc oxide nanorods to control light guidance
and leakage inside optical fibers coated with nanorods. The effect of the hydrothermal growth conditions of the
nanorods on light scattering and coupling to optical fiber are experimentally investigated. At optimum conditions,
5% of the incident light is side coupled to the cladding modes. This coupling scheme could be used in different
applications such as distributed sensors and light combing. Implementation of the nanorods on fiber provides low
cost and controllable nonlithography-based solutions for free space to fiber coupling. Higher coupling efficiencies
can be achieved with further optimization.
