Abstract

A section of tapered optical fiber is provided to protect optical components from catastrophic damage that may propagate within an optical route. The tapered section functions as a fuse to arrest the propagation of optical power induced damage by leaking optical power from a waveguiding region below a threshold, below which further propagation of damage is not supported.
