Asymmetric Curvature Side-Polished Optical Fiber Coupler

An optical fiber coupler composed of two side-polished fibers with different curvature is proposed. The live-fiber is polished with a typical radius of curvature of 0.25 m, while the branch-fiber is polished with a larger radius of curvature. Analysis shows that the proposed asymmetric structure imp...
