  • Abstract
    High optical quality silica gel glass, prepared from hydrolysis and polycondensation of an ethyl silicate solution, was used for the first time to stabilise single mode fibre couplers. The gel-stabilised couplers exhibit minimal temperature dependence, high coupling efficiency, and relatively low insertion loss.
