Abstract
An optical fiber attenuator includes an optical fiber section having an end at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the section. The end has on it a first layer of substantially transparent anti-reflective material, a second layer of light attenuating material on the first layer and a third layer of substantially transparent anti-reflective material over the second layer. A fourth layer of substantially transparent, relatively hard scratch-resistant material may be added on the third layer.
