  • Abstract
    A new method for the fabrication of a singlemode fibre wavelength independent Y-junction is described; through asymmetrically tapering a pre-assembled Y-junction precursor, the splice point is drawn into the waist region of the device and low-loss is ensured. The lowest loss and flattest wavelength response for such a device is reported.
