Abstract: The invention relates to a transponder for marking wood material and a method of manufacturing thereof. The method comprises embedding an RFID microchip and antenna into a casing essentially consisting of one or more biodegradable materials. According to the invention the embedding step comprises forming the antenna by layering conductive material directly on biodegradable material, and covering the antenna by biodegradable material. By means of the invention, environmentally friendly and pulping-compatible transponders can be manufactured, for example, for aiding the logistics of forest industry.

Abstract: A section of active optical fiber (11) which comprises an active core (1), an inner cladding layer (2) and an outer cladding layer (3). The diameter of said core 91) and the thickness of said inner cladding (2) change gradually along the length of said section of active optical fiber (11). This forms tapered longitudinal profile enabling a continuous mode conversion process along the length of the section of fiber (11). The method for fabricating a section of tapered active optical fiber comprises the steps of fabricating a perform for drawing active optical fiber from said perform, installing said perform into a drawing tower, drawing optical fiber in said drawing tower and altering at least one of the two parameters including the take-off perform speed and the take-up fiber speed during drawing of the optical fiber.
