  • Abstract
    Completely fused single-mode fibre couplers, characterised by an almost circular cross-section at the waist, have been fabricated. An analytic model which takes into consideration the taper and variable aspect ratio of the coupler has been developed. Good agreement is obtained between the theoretical and experimental values.
