Nanostructured coatings have been deposited onto tapered optical fibres using the Langmuir–Blodgett technique. The response of the transmission spectrum of the tapered fibres to changes in thickness of the coating has been analysed. The effects observed are shown to be dependent on the diameter of the tapered region.
