Abstract :
We will briefly discuss the benefits and disadvantages of annealing optical fiber. Thermally processing optical fiber produces many useful active and passive components including fibre splices, fibre couplers, thermally expanded core fiber, fiber lenses, chirped fibre Bragg gratings, and fibre sensors
