ABSTRACT:
A method for fabricating optical components in the cladding of an optical fiber bus by the utilization of a laser. An excimer laser fabricates either an optical coupler opening or an optical mode scrambler by ablatively removing the cladding from the optical core of an optical fiber bus without damaging the optical core. Either coupler housing or a mode scrambler housing is attached to the optical fiber bus where the coupler or mode scrambler is to be fabricated. The coupler housing is used to position the laser, secure and align a coupler fiber, and provide cavities for junction and cladding repair materials. The mode scrambler housing serves a similar purpose.
