ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber containing intrinsic alignment features is disclosed. The fiber comprises a core, cladding layer, cladding insert or inserts, and a jacket. The outer shape of the tip of a fiber can be altered by etching away the jacket and cladding insert or inserts. The respective solubilities of the cladding insert and the cladding layer in etchants are selected to provide control of the resulting fiber shape upon completion of etching.
