An optical waveguide encapsulation for facilitating the tapping of light signals. The optical waveguide includes an optical medium, preferably a polyimide. An encapsulating material comprises a medium which matches the index of the light conducting core of the waveguide. The refractive index of the light conducting core is higher than the refractive index of the encapsulating material, and the encapsulating material is an elastic material. |
