  • Abstract
    Single mode fibre access couplers have been fabricated by chemically etching most of the glass cladding material surrounding the fibre core, and thermally fusing the fibres together in the etched region. The resulting couplers have low loss and are both durable and insensitive to ambient temperature variations.
