Abstract
An optical transmission fiber including a core having a first index of refraction, a cladding material located around the core and having a second index of refraction less than the first index of refraction, a first coating material located around a first portion of the cladding material and having a third index of refraction greater than the second index of refraction, and a second coating material located around a second portion of the cladding material and having a fourth index of refraction less than the second index of refraction.
Claims7
An optical transmission fiber, comprising:
- a core having a first index of refraction;
- a cladding material located around said core and having a second index of refraction less than said first index of refraction;
- a first coating material located around a first portion of said cladding material and having a third index of refraction greater than said second index of refraction;
- and
- a second coating material located around a second portion of said cladding material and having a fourth index of refraction less than said second index of refraction, said second coating material substantially confining light energy escaping from said core within said second portion of said cladding material for transmission to an energy removal location.
