Abstract: The present invention relates to fiber bundles and methods for making fiber bundles. According to one embodiment of the invention, at the endface of the fused fiber bundle, the ratio of the cross-sectional area of the endface to the cross sectional area of the plurality of optical fibers is at least about 2.5. According to another embodiment of the invention, a fused fiber bundle includes a plurality of optical fibers, and a glass tube surrounding the terminal segments of the optical fibers, wherein the refractive index of the glass tube is less than the refractive index of the claddings of the optical fibers. Other embodiments of the present invention provide methods for making fused bundles.

Abstract: The present invention includes a flexure mount. The tunable filter further includes an actuator coupled to the flexure mount, wherein the actuator elastically perturbs the flexure mount. The tunable filter also includes a Mach-Zehnder device coupled to the flexure mount. The Mach-Zehnder device includes a first tapered coupling region; a second tapered coupling region spaced apart from the first tapered coupling region; and a phase shift region disposed between the first and second tapered coupling regions.

Abstract: A fiber lens (100) includes a multimode fiber (104) and a refractive lens (102) disposed at an end of the multimode fiber. The refractive lens (102) focuses a beam from the multimode fiber (104) into a diffraction-limited spot. In one embodiment, a graded-index (fiber) is interposed between the multimode fiber (104) and the refractive lens (102). In one embodiment, the combination of the graded-index (fiber) and the refractive lens enables extreme anamorphic lens characteristics.
