Abstract
A technique for aligning and fusing polarisation-maintaining optical fibre to D-fibre has been developed. All-fibre polarisation-splitting couplers have been produced using thin metal interlays. The properties of these splitters have been measured and show the predicted behaviour. Good values for extinction ratio and crosstalk have been obtained.
