Power distributions of fundamental modes in the SC-MOF and its tapers were calculated by using a vectorial finite element method. Fiber tapers designed on the basis of the numerical analysis were prepared employing a fiber puller of own construction. Experiments have proved that the cladding holes remain sufficiently large for passing liquid and gas analytes through and that the core diameter of the untapered pigtails is large enough for low-loss coupling of optical beams into the tapered fiber.
