ABSTRACT:
A fresenel zoned microstructured optical fiber is described. The fiber is constructed of concentric zones, each zone being defined by discontinuities in the refractive index. The refractive index within each zone may either be constant or may vary, for example each zone being a section of a parabola or hyperbola. The fiber may be used as a lens, for example for coupling light between fibers with different core sizes.
