    Abstract: A tapered fiber bundle is formed by first etching the end portions of each fiber within the group so as to remove a selected amount of outer cladding material from each fiber. The assembled, etched fibers are then fused together in conventional fashion to form a fiber bundle. By first etching the fibers to form a “tapered” structure, the core diameter of the tapered fiber bundle remains intact; in the prior art, the tapering process of drawing down the fused collection of fibers would reduce the core diameter. Preferably, the outer cladding of the central single mode fiber is modified to exhibit the same etch rate as the outer cladding layer of the remaining fibers.

    Abstract: An optical transmission fiber is formed to include a relatively low-index, relatively thin outer cladding layer disposed underneath the protective polymer outer coating. Stray light propagating along an inner cladding layer(s) within the fiber will be refracted into the thin outer cladding (by proper selection of refractive index values). The thin dimension of the outer cladding layer allows for the stray light to “leak” into the outer coating in a controlled, gradual manner so as to minimize heating of the coating associated with the presence of stray light. The inventive fiber may also be bent to assist in the movement of stray light into the coating.

    Abstract: An optical performance monitor particularly well-suited for use in dense wavelength-division multiplexed (DWDM) systems includes both a nonlinear optical detector and a conventional linear detector. The nonlinear optical detector, which may comprise a quadratic detector, is used to provide information, on a channel-by-channel basis, regarding chromatic dispersion, polarization mode dispersion and accumulated amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise in each signal wavelength.
