Wavelength-flattened couplers: performance optimisation by twist-tuning

Wavelength-flattened couplers: performance optimisation by twist-tuning
Wavelength-flattened couplers: performance optimisation by twist-tuning
The twisting of an asymmetric fused tapered single-mode fibre coupler is found to decrease the maximum coupled power, in addition to the usual shift in the wavelength response. This effect can be used to optimise a wavelength-flattened coupler's performance during or after coupler elongation.

Abstract

The twisting of an asymmetric fused tapered single-mode fibre coupler is found to decrease the maximum coupled power, in addition to the usual shift in the wavelength response. This effect can be used to optimise a wavelength-flattened coupler's performance during or after coupler elongation.
