Home / Method for fabricating fiber optic couplers
A method for the fabrication of a fiber optic coupler includes a step of fusing together two optical fibers along their longitudinal sections by heating them and a step of stretching the two optical fibers independently of one another with different conditions of tension and/or. It functions by dividing a single incoming light path into multiple outgoing paths, or by combining light from several input paths into a single output fiber. 2-photon lithography enables custom fabrication of optical waveguides at a sub-micron resolution and millimeter scale. Custom optical fiber architecture is a powerful component for development of fiber coupler systems and advancement of fiber based imaging technology.
