METHOD FOR TREATING THE END OF AN OPTICAL FIBER BUNDLE TO REDUCE LIGHT REFLECTION, AN OPTICAL FIBER BUNDLE AND AN OPTICAL FIBER WITH THE TREATED END

摘要

A system and method for treating the end of an optical fiber bundle to reduce light scattering/reflection is provided. After the end of the optical fiber bundle is formed, it has a raw end. A material is applied to the raw end to form a treated end that provides a substantially smoother surface then the raw cut end, which reduces the amount of light rays reflected from the end.
