Abstract
The invention concerns a fiber-optic component, in particular a fiber coupler, and method for manufacturing thereof. The component comprises a housing (), at least one first optical element () capable of guiding light and having an output end, the first optical element () being affixed to said housing () at a mounting zone (A), and at least one second optical element () optically coupled to the first optical element () at a coupling zone () for receiving light from the output end of the first optical element (). According to the invention, the component comprises at least one zone () of light-scattering material arranged in the vicinity of the first optical element () at a region between the coupling zone () and the mounting zone (A). By means of the invention, the effect potentially harmful reverse radiation in fiber-optic components can be mitigated.
