Abstract (EN): The emergence of optical fiber tapers allowed for the development of new sensing heads to measure physical and external parameters. In the last five years, investigation became more intense with the rapid development of new types of fiber such as microstructured fiber. This chapter aims to present the latest work based on tapers: single tapers, interferometers based on tapers, tapers combined with other structures such as Bragg gratings or surface plasmon resonance. Finally, it also describes new taper geometries and tapers in microstructured fiber. © 2013 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc.
