ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to an asymmetric optical fiber that includes a core and a functional cladding that surrounds substantially half of the core along at least a portion of the fiber. The asymmetric optical fiber may include substantially parallel electrodes disposed on a face of the optical fiber.
