Abstract
A simple method to incorporate carbon nanotubes onto optical fibers is to immerse its tip in a solution of nanostructures dispersed in ethanol. Laser light guided by the fiber attracts the nanostructures thus forming deposits on the optical fiber tip. After deposition, micron-sized bubbles can be formed on the tips of the optical fibers owing to light absorption by the nanostructures.
