  • Abstract
    A simple analytical study on fused tapered couplers composed of birefringent fibres is presented. It is shown that the polarisation splitting property of the coupler can remain almost constant over a wide range of wavelengths when the geometrical birefringence and the stress-induced birefringence in the coupler are properly balanced.
