Abstract: There is provided a method for making an optical element having a textured surface. The method comprises the steps of: a) providing a plurality of primary optical fiber segments, each primary fiber segment comprising one or more cores; b) bundling the primary fiber segments into an assembly with the cores of said primary fiber segments extending parallely; c) transforming the assembly into a secondary structure comprising the parallely extending cores; and d) etching a surface of the secondary structure according to an etch profile of said secondary structure, the etch profile being defined by the parallely extending cores, thereby forming the textured surface of the optical element. An optical element having a textured surface is also provided.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical fiber is provided. The method involves providing a fiber preform with an active core and a pump-guiding cladding, and assembling one or more side rods to the fiber preform. The side rods extend longitudinally along an outer surface of the pump-guiding cladding. The resulting fiber preform assembly is drawn into the optical fiber. Each side rod defines a longitudinal protrusion extending along the optical fiber. Each longitudinal protrusion may have a cross-section forming a middle bump projecting radially away from the outer surface of the pump-guiding cladding and smooth transition regions with this outer surface of the pump-guiding cladding on opposite sides of the middle bump.
