ABSTRACT:
An apparatus in one example comprises a buffer layer located on a face that serves as a primary support for an optical fiber winding along a first general direction. The face is coupled with a body that serves as a primary support for the optical fiber winding along a second general direction. The optical fiber winding comprises an optical fiber wound about the body. The buffer layer serves to promote a decrease of one or more strain gradients among a plurality of portions of the optical fiber winding.
