Abstract
An all-optical-fiber device (optionally produced with the use of laser machining) containing constituent optical fiber components in which the corresponding ends are segmented (and—in one specific case—quartered) and optionally tapered (while portions of the original cores and claddings are maintained) and operationally joined back to form an aggregate end of the device with the round aperture and the corresponding round facet. The end of the device may be cooperated with a quadrant detector for automatic guidance that is based on steering the output light, that was launched into the round facet and propagated through the device, toward the quadrant with the strongest signal in iterations until the signal in each quadrant of the detector is substantially balanced. Constituent optical fiber component(s) and overall detection system and method for manufacture and/or use of same.
