Abstract
3dB wide band coupler is a passive device widely used in optical fiber communication system, optical fiber sensor, optical fiber measurement technology and signal processing system. A fiber fused biconical taper (FBT) 3dB wide band coupler was designed and some samples were manufactured. The bandwidth characteristics of asymmetric FBT coupler were analyzed by coupledmode equation. The bandwidth of the wide band coupler is about 300nm (between 1300nm and 1600nm), while its excess loss is less than 0.5dB.
