ABSTRACT:
Disclosed herein is an optical fiber device comprising an optical fiber; the fiber having a first portion with an endface, the endface having a core and a peripheral area around the core, the endface having defined thereon a first region adjacent the core and a second region adjacent the peripheral area; a layer of reflective material located on the endface and confined to the first region, thereby forming a localized reflector thereon.
