  • Abstract
    The authors present a polarisation-insensitive, 3*3 fused biconical tapered coupler with a variable screw gauge that can change the coupling ratios from a splitting percentage of 11%-44%-45% to a uniformity of 33%-33%-34%, with excess loss maintained below 1.1 dB. The fabrication and packaging methods are described and wavelength tunability of the coupler is demonstrated.
