	Abstract = {<p>So called optical microfibers (OMFs) with diameters on the order of
one micrometer have attracted much attention during the last years. This
results from the optical properties of the OMFs. Due to the small cross section
of the OMF about 50% of power guided trough it propagates outside the physical
boundary of the OMF. The portion of light guided by the fiber but propagating
in the surrounding medium is referred to as the evanescent field. This field can be
accessed rather easily for experiments and offers high light intensity because of the
strong spacial confinement. This thesis work lays the foundations for the on-demand
fabrication of OMFs of any shape and with various optical properties. The scope of
this work covers among others the design of an advanced mechanical setup, the
corresponding calculations on fabrication of OMFs, and the analysis and verification
of the properties of the resulting OMFs.</p>},
