Abstract

A new way to make a star coupler is described, fabricated by stacking polymer films and then sticking them together using a heat press. By this method, star couplers with square core cross sections can be produced easily. The five-port multimode planar star coupler, made on an experimental basis, has an output power variation of ~1 dB and an insertion loss of ~3.5 dB.

摘要

本文描述了一种制造星形耦合器的新方法，该方法通过堆叠聚合物薄膜，然后使用热压机将它们粘合在一起。通过这种方法，可以轻松生产出具有方形纤芯横截面的星形耦合器。在实验基础上制造的五端口多模平面星形耦合器，其输出功率变化约为1 dB，插入损耗约为3.5 dB。
