Review of Fabrication Techniques for Fused Fiber Components for Fiber Lasers
Fused fiber components are the key building blocks that enable reliable and efficient operation of high power fiber lasers. In this paper, we review fabrication techniques for the manufacture of such devices, including mode-field adaptors, fiber tapers, fused couplers, and fused combiners. We present the basic equations governing both the optical performance and fabrication requirements for the...

Recent progress in research on optical fiber devices, especially optical fiber couplers and optical fiber grating couplers, by a new fabrication method, that is, a CO2 laser irradiation method is reviewed. Furthermore, applications of optical fiber grating couplers are also described. Key-words: Optical Fiber Device, Optical Fiber Coupler, Optical Fiber Grating Coupler
متن کاملRing fiber resonators based on fused-fiber grating add-drop filters:application to resonator coupling.
We introduce a fiber ring optical resonator based on adiabatic fused-fiber grating couplers. The coupling of a through fiber to the resonator is controlled by the strength of the fiber Bragg gratings. By using two of these couplers and incorporating erbium-doped (ED) fiber in the ring, we control the internal loss of the ring by pumping the ED fiber. The transmission spectra of the through port...
متن کاملSoliton controlling, switching, and splitting in nonlinear fused-fiber couplers
We propose an exactly solvable model of soliton-based pulse control that describes the physically important situation when the soliton period is much longer than the length of the coupling region in a nonlinear fiber coupler. This case can occur, e.g., in fused-fiber couplers. We demonstrate that the problem of soliton interaction and switching in such a coupler can be reduced to a linear relat...
متن کاملAccurate coupling coefficients for fiber couplers with weakly fused cross sections.
For fused tapered fiber couplers with weakly fused cross sections, power coupling takes place between two touching tapered cladding cylinders embedded in the air, and the cylinders then become a strongly guiding structure. We provide accurate polarization-dependent coupling coefficients for such a structure, on the basis of a rigorous vectorial numerical calculation. Our results for the corresp...
