ABSTRACT:
An optical component having at least one optical waveguide, a primary matrix, a secondary matrix, and a marking indicia. The primary matrix includes a first major surface and a second major surface. The secondary matrix is adjacent to the first major surface and does not completely cover the second major surface. The marking indicia may be disposed on either the primary matrix or the secondary matrix. Other embodiments include an optical component having a layer that is an absorbing material that bonds with a marking indicia. Another embodiment includes a first matrix and a second matrix having different respective coefficients of friction (COF).
