Abstract

An automated jig designed to fabricate fused monomode-fiber taper couplers is reported. The high level of fabrication control achieved permits the observation of new coupler properties: the flexing response of polarizing couplers, anti-symmetric supermode cutoff and the pull-signature of asymmetric couplers.
