Abstract:
An optical fiber includes a core ( 30 ) and a cladding ( 32 ) surrounding the core. One or more indentations ( 42 ) extend into the fiber from outside of the core. The indentations desirably extend into the core and desirably define surfaces ( 44 ) transverse to the axis ( 36 ) of the fiber and extending into the core. A solid filler material ( 52 ) desirably is disposed within the indentations. The indentations and filler facilitate extraction of light from the core. The fiber desirably is a polymeric multimode fiber.

Claim (Index 3):
An optical fiber having an elongated transparent core having an axis of elongation, a cladding surrounding the core, the cladding having an index of refraction lower than an index of refraction of the core, one or more indentations extending from outside of the cladding at least to the core, and an optically transmissive solid filler disposed in the indentations.
