VARIABLE COUPLING RATIO Y-BRANCH PLASTIC OPTICAL FIBER (POF) COUPLER WITH SUSPENDED WAVEGUIDE TAPER [PDF]
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, 2011 A variable coupling ratio Y-Branch plastic optical flber (POF) coupler based on acrylic has been developed. This device utilized two optical designs: a Y-branch structure with a novel suspended waveguide taper and a simple attenuation technique based on lateral displacement of two flbers for the non-symmetrical coupling ratios.
