A coupler can be used as a splitter to couple out some portion of the light circulating in the resonator of fiber laser, for example. Directional 2 × 2 couplers (see Figure 1) are usually used for such purposes.
Optical couplers with different power splitting ratios are essential building blocks in photonic integrated circuits. We theoretically and

The proposed vertical coupler can further miniaturize photonic integrated circuits and enable highly-efficient networks between optical fibers and other photonic devices.
Axicons may be considered as specialty lenses (conical lenses); after all, their outer shape and the typical way of mounting is similar to that for lenses. Alternatively, axicons are called conical prisms.

Fiber coupler devices are key optical components used within modules and systems and also passive optical access networks, to enable efficient long-distance signal transmission, monitoring,
A widely used approach for optical couplers fabrication is based on the coupling between optical fibers. The operation principle of the light coupler employed on the compensation technique is shown in Fig.
This basic optocoupler circuit will specifically respond well to ON/OFF switching input signals. However, if required the circuit can be modified to work with analog input signals and

A fused fiber optic coupler is a structure formed by two fibers. The two fibers are placed side to side, twisted, put in a flame, heated up, and then drawn longer and become fused together. Within each
