Abstract

A method of preparing an optical component for coupling with an optical fiber is disclosed. The method includes determining a thickness of a buffer layer formed on the optical component. The method also includes forming an anti reflective coating adjacent to the buffer layer. The anti reflective coating is formed to a thickness selected in response to the determined buffer layer thickness.
