Abstract
A technique has been developed for fabricating M x N fiber couplers that use different core-size fibers to improve the interconnection efficiency of multiterminal optical fiber systems. Experimental results are described for a 2 x 8 transmissive asymmetrical star coupler using 125-microm core diam input fibers and 63-microm core diam output fibers. This construction procedure also has the important advantage of improving the fiber throughput uniformity of fused biconical taper multiport couplers.
