Abstract

Aluminum coating on silica optical fiber was anodized by applying an electric field off‐axis to surface normal of the fiber coating with simulation of the electric field lines between angularly positioned anode and cathode as a guide. The nanostructure features, including nanopore orientation, of the resultant anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) were characterized using scanning electron microscopy. This unique off‐axis electric field arrangement enabled the formation of AAO with uniformly tilted nanopore channel arrays. Nanopore channels with tilting angles around 10°–20° relative to surface normal of AAO were obtained. These results are in general agreement with the simulated electric field lines between the anode and cathode.
