Abstract

Fused fibre 2 x 2 couplers are key components for telecommunication networks. The fusion and tapering technique is the preferred technique because fused couplers are easy to manufacture, low cost and low loss devices. They also are the basic elements of a number of more complex components which are as well essential parts of the networks. However before entering the production process they must be carefully designed and it is one of the role of the the Fiber Optic Laboratonj which acquired over the years an expertise and a know-how which led to commecially available products.
