Abstract
A fiber optic light coupling assembly is disclosed including at least one local physical distortion introduced into the geometry of a fiber at a position intermediate its ends. Light is introduced into the fiber at this position and is directed essentially unidirectionally therefrom toward a desired end of the fiber for processing and retransmission of a light signal back through the fiber for exit at the other end thereof.
