WDM-filter based on slanted optical fibers, GRIN lenses and a dichroic filter

摘要

An optical coupling arrangement for use in an optical filter is disclosed wherein optical fibre are disposed only along one line in one orientation across an end face of an optical fibre tube having a slanted end face. By disposing slanted/polished optical fibre end faces along a line that is orthogonal to a longitudinal axis of the optical fibre tube, optimum coupling of light is achieved.
