Abstract:
Embodiments of the disclosure are directed to a bend induced light scattering (BIS) optical fiber and method of making. The BIS optical fiber includes a core of pure silica devoid of nanovoids and a cladding surrounding the core. The core has a first index of refraction and the cladding has a second index of refraction that is lower than the first index of refraction of the core. The first index of refraction of the core and the second index of refraction of the cladding are configured to maintain light within the core when the BIS optical fiber is unbent in a light retaining position and to emit light from the core to the cladding at a bend in the BIS optical fiber when the radius of curvature of the bend is less than a critical radius of curvature and the BIS optical fiber is in a light emitting position.

Claim (Index 21):
The BIS optical fiber of  claim 17 , wherein the cladding comprises a first fluorinated acrylate cladding layer with diameter between about 100 \u03bcm and about 170 \u03bcm and a second acrylate cladding layer with a diameter between about 140 \u03bcm and about 250 \u03bcm.
