  • Method of making sequential coupler arrangements and resulting devices
    Patent number: 6839490
    Abstract: A monolithic sequential coupling arrangement has two or more fused biconic couplers joined with one common optical fiber which is not spliced. The couplers are close together in a space-saving relationship exhibiting a relatively low polarization dependent loss. The non-fused fiber portions in the arrangement have each at least one adiabatic taper.
