Flame Fusion Technology for The Fabrication of Fused Biconical Tapered (FBT) Single Mode Fibre Components

Introduction

Flame fusion technology for the fabrication of fused bicoxical tapered (FBT) single-mode fibre coupler components

Salient features

PC-controlled, motorised fabrication rig for good repeatability with regard to excess loss and splitting ratio. Typical excess loss ~ 0.2 dB @ 1300 and 1550 nm wavelengths, splitting ratio in the range 20% to 80%. Couplers with any splitting ratio (in the above range) can be fabricated for operation at any desired wavelength.

Prospective Users
