  • Abstract
    The transmission characteristics of fused couplers are evaluated as a function of the cross-sectional radius and the degree of fusion. The wavelength dependence of the coupling ratio is then examined with a view to minimising the wavelength dependence in wavelength-multiplexed optical networks. The effect of changing the external refractive index is also considered.
