Rigorous analysis of form birefringence of weakly fused fiber-opticcouplers

Based on a rigorous vectorial formulation, the surface integral equation method is used to solve the vectorial mode patterns and the coupling characteristics of weakly fused fiber-optic couplers. Form birefringence versus aspect ratio of the coupler cross-section for different normalized frequencies V are calculated. A dramatic feature-that there is a local maximum of form birefringence for the weakly fused couplers with large V-values-is found. The dependence of the aspect ratio at which the coupler is isotropic on the V-value is also presented. The fused coupler with large V-value is isotropic as the aspect ratio is close to 1.8, but its polarization effect is still significant when the aspect ratio is 2.0

Polarization Characteristics of Single-Mode Fiber Couplers

The polarization characteristics of fiber couplers made of birefringent single-mode fibers are studied. The effect of anisotropic interfiber coupling, fiber birefringence, angular misalignment of fibers, and twisting on the coupler characteristics are identified. The polarization characteristics of the couplers are compared with that of isolated uncoupled fibers of the same birefringence and length. The equivalent lumped element representations for three classes of fiber couplers are also presented.     

Study of polarization-dependent coupling in optical waveguidedirectional couplers by the effective-index method with built-inperturbation correction

Polarization dependence is a major factor of consideration in the design of optical waveguide devices for application in optical fiber transmission systems. In this paper, we apply the recently proposed effective-index method with built-in perturbation correction to the study of the polarization dependence in the coupling coefficient of a directional coupler that consists of two parallel rectangular-core waveguides. Numerical results are found to agree with those calculated by the vector version of the Marcatili method with perturbation correction. With numerical illustrations, we show that the polarization dependence in the splitting ratio of a directional coupler can be eliminated by a proper choice of the physical parameters of the coupler. Our results provide useful guidelines for the design of polarization-insensitive integrated-optic directional couplers     

Three-dimensional electromagnetic modeling of fiber-core effects onthe coupling characteristics of weakly fused tapered fiber-opticcouplers

Based on the full-wave formulations, which combine the finite element method add the boundary element technique, and the step-like approximation method, a three-dimensional (3-D) electromagnetic modeling approach is proposed in this work to investigate the fiber-core effects on the coupling characteristics of the weakly fused tapered couplers. We find the fiber cores have significant effects on the mode field patterns, coupling coefficients, and birefringence for the coupler with large normalized frequencies. The influence of the fiber cores on the coupling behavior for the real couplers, such as 3 dB power dividers, polarization beam splitters, and wavelength demultiplexing/multiplexing couplers, are also studied in 3-D view. It is found that the effects of fiber-cores in the weakly fused tapered couplers have to be considered for accurately modelling their coupling behavior, although the model with no core assumption can predict the trend of the coupling characteristics for the real couplers     

Fiber loop reflectors

The theory and application of fiber loop reflectors, fabricated by forming a fiber loop between the output ports of a directional coupler, is described. The reflectivity of the loop is shown to depend upon the coupling characteristics of the coupler and on the degree of birefringence in the fiber loop. Measured loop reflectivities, in terms of wavelength response, coupling ratio, and loop birefringence are shown to agree very well with theory. Two applications of the fiber reflector are briefly discussed; an all fiber laser and a duplex optical communications link using a single light source
