Practical coupling device based on a two-core optical fiber

Abstract: A practical coupling device that relies on a dual-core fiber in a loop configuration is presented. Its coupling properties are analyzed in terms of the optical path difference between the cores, which is controlled by the rotation of the fiber about its axis and by a small twist applied to it along the loop. The device actually acts as an anisotropic coupler, and the coupled power can be perfectly controlled from 0-100% by proper adjustment of the loop. A simple implementation of the device was used in the fab… Show more

“…In bi-core fiber (BCF) sensing devices, two types of launching conditions are normally considered. Most studies [19,20] refer to launching light in one fiber core only and determining the effects of evanescence mode coupling over the space left between the two cores, generally a fraction of the fiber cores radius. The other possibility is central launching, the one that will be analyzed here.…”
