Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An optical fiber includes a first end and a second end. The optical fiber includes a core for transmitting optical signals from the first end to the second end. The core has end surfaces at the first and second ends and a cladding is positioned around a circumference of the core. Magnetic elements are provided at the end surfaces of the first end and the second end. The magnetic elements are configured to magnetically couple the core to a magnetic element at an end of a core of another optical fiber. The magnetic elements form part of a light transmission path defined by the core. The magnetic elements are optically transmissive and allow optical signals to pass therethrough.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An optical fiber comprising: a first end and a second end, the optical fiber extending along a central longitudinal axis between the first end and the second end; a core for transmitting optical signals from the first end to the second end, the core having an end surface at the first end, the end surface being perpendicular to the central longitudinal axis, the end surface configured to face an end of a core of another optical fiber; a cladding positione…
