1/spl times/8 star coupler waveguide device with multifiber-connector-compatible connections

摘要

In conclusion, we have developed a 1/spl times/8 star coupler waveguide device with mechanically transferable (MT)-compatible connections, which is easy to fabricate because the assembling process automatically involves adjusting the position of waveguides. In addition to this convenience, the device has low connection losses and good reliability. The device structure is favorable to mass production and can be applied to various waveguide circuits with low cost.
