Abstract
A 64-port transmissive fiber optic star coupler that displays an excess loss of 5.2 2.7 dB is described. Design and fabrication are discussed and performance data are presented. A passive optical attenuator is incorporated into the coupler to permit adjustments for greater uniformity. The manufacturability is also considered.
