ABSTRACT:
A ruggedized grated optical fiber is described. The gratings in the fiber permit its use as a reflector or an interferometer when pairs of gratings having the same reflectance characteristics are spaced along the optical fiber. The ruggedized fiber comprises an optical fiber having the outer cladding removed down to an inner sheathing wherein a portion of the inner sheathing is further removed to expose the core wherein evanescent waves are encountered. The gratings are formed in this core. Surrounding the gratings and connected to the inner sheathing are two semi-tubular sections which are affixed to the inner sheathing and hermetically sealed around the gratings.
