Abstract: In some implementations, an optical component includes an optical fiber having a core for guiding signal light and a cladding surrounding the core. A cladding light stripper may be defined for the optical fiber, where the cladding light stripper has a length along the cladding. The optical component may include a package, retaining the cladding light stripper, having a surface that faces the cladding light stripper. A light reflectivity of the surface may vary, by surface location, to control a degree of light absorption along the package.

Abstract: In some implementations, an apparatus for aligning multiple fibers may comprise a lattice structure that comprises a plurality of tensioned elements to provide a deformable support framework to simultaneously position a plurality of optical fibers such that the plurality of optical fibers is elastically constrained in a first axis and a second axis. The apparatus may further comprise an array that comprises a plurality of micro-jaw structures passing through the lattice structure. In some implementations, each micro-jaw structure in the array of micro-jaw structures is adjustable to shift one or more positions of one or more optical fibers included among the plurality of optical fibers relative to one or more cores of a multi-core optical fiber.
