Devices and method introduce micro-modifications into an optical waveguides. The devices comprise and the methods utilize a focusing optical unit for focusing a laser pulses into a core region of the optical waveguide, at least one motor-driven adjustment device for carrying out a linear movement between the optical waveguide and a focus of the focused laser beam pulse, a holder for the optical waveguide, and a rotation device for rotating the optical waveguide, wherein the at least one motor-driven adjustment device is configured for moving the focal position through the optical waveguide, while the rotation device is configured to modify a rotational speed of the optical waveguide.

Laterally emitting optical waveguide and method for introducing micromodifications into an optical waveguide

Laterally emitting optical waveguides and methods introduce micromodifications into an optical waveguide and provide optical waveguides. The laterally emitting optical waveguides comprise at least an optical wave-guiding core and a region in the optical waveguide and the methods arrange the micro-modifications in the region of the optical waveguide and order the arrangement of the micro-modifications.

Laterally emitting optical waveguides and method introduce micromodifications into an optical waveguide and provide optical waveguides. The waveguides and methods comprise an optical wave-guiding core, a region in the optical waveguide, wherein the micro-modifications are arranged in the region of the optical waveguide, wherein the arrangement of the micro-modifications is ordered.

The present invention relates to an optical waveguide, comprising an optical wave-guiding core, a region in the optical waveguide, wherein the micro-modifications are arranged in the region of the optical waveguide, wherein the arrangement of the micro-modifications is ordered, and to a method for producing an optical waveguide according to the invention.

The invention relates to a method for microstructuring an optical waveguide having a first cross-sectional region with a first refractive index, a second cross-sectional region with a second refractive index, and a boundary region in the transition from the first to the second cross-sectional region, in which the optical waveguide is exposed to laser radiation in the form of at least one ultra-short single pulse or a sequence of pulses with a defined energy input, whereby the radiant exposure takes place in such a manner that a modification of at least one optical property of the optical waveguide takes place at at least one defined portion of the boundary region.
