Abstract
To achieve high productivity and high density packaging of fibre couplers for practical systems, a novel mass-fabrication process using arrayed fibre ribbons has been developed. The fabricated arrayed-fibre coupler consists of four couplers which are all fabricated together from four-fibre ribbons. Each fibre coupler had 3 dB coupling ratio to within 49.3 ± 2.1%. It has been confirmed that plural fibre couplers with equal coupling ratio can be simultaneously fabricated by the mass-fabrication process.Keywords
