Techniques and devices using a fiber to couple light efficiently and compactly in a direction transverse to the fiber core for optical sensing, optical switching, and optical data storage applications. Devices are described for all-fiber optical switching, multiple-disk high-data-rate optical disk drives with compact optical fiber read/write heads, compact fiber-optic interferometers for position, measurements, and endoscopic probes for medical tissue modification and measurement. |
