Abstract
We present an accurate coupled-mode analysis to evaluate the coupling characteristics of identical single-mode graded-index fiber directional couplers. We also give an empirical relation for calculating the coupling length of a fiber coupler formed by fibers having profile parameter
, normalized frequency
, and normalized separation
;
is the distance between the fiber centers and
, the radius of the fiber core.
