Design of a Temporary Optical Coupler Using Fiber Bending for Traffic Monitoring

We design a temporary optical coupler that extracts 1.25-Gbps optical signals for traffic monitoring. The temporary optical coupler employs a fiber bending technique that uses a receiving fiber to receive leaked signal light from a bent fiber. We optimize the bending condition and the receiving fibe...
