ABSTRACT:
A sheathed optical fiber (15) which may be used in a package (20) in guidance systems for tethered vehicles includes a carrier (21) on which are wrapped a plurality of convolutions of the sheathed optical fiber. The sheathed optical fiber in a preferred embodiment includes a metallic tubular member (40) with optical fiber (30) being disposed in a longitudinally extending passageway (42) of the tubular member and secured therein against unintended lateral disassociation with the tubular member in a manner which minimize microbending losses. The reinforced optical fiber has mechanical ruggedness and tensile load capability which render it ideal for use in tethered vehicles.
