  • Abstract
    An outline of the foundation technology and underlying physics of the building block of a most needed all-fiber components, namely, the fused fiber coupler and those derived from a specialty optical fiber host, namely, hollow optical fiber, are presented here. The discussion includes configuration of a few application-specific devices used in today´s telecommunication networks along with their mode-coupling/modal propagation nature and functional characteristics intended for a comprehensive understanding of these devices.
