Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical fiber, the method including mounting a glass sleeve in a selective etching apparatus. The sleeve comprising one or more axial through-holes, and the etching apparatus comprising a first end cap with a central aperture disposed therethrough, the first end cap being attached to a first surface of the sleeve. The method further including exposing the sleeve to an acid solution such that a first portion of the first surface is exposed to the acid solution and a second portion of the first surface is not exposed to the acid solution. The first portion being adjacent to the central aperture when the sleeve is mounted in the selective etching apparatus, and the second portion being covered by the first end cap when the sleeve is mounted in the selective etching apparatus.

Abstract: Integrated torque jacket systems and methods for optical coherence tomography are disclosed. The system includes an optical fiber cable having an optical fiber surrounded by an outer jacket. An optical probe is operably attached to the distal end of the optical fiber cable. The optical fiber cable includes either a plurality of low-friction bearings or a spiral member operably attached thereto along its length, thereby defining the integrated torque jacket system. The integrated torque jacket system resides within the flexible guide tube with a close fit that allows for rotation and axial translation of the integrated torque jacket system within the guide tube interior. The integrated torque jacket system serves to transfer torque and axial translation applied at its proximal end to the distal end to rotate and axially translate the optical probe within the guide tube.
