Abstract
A method of making an economical fiber coupler comprises providing a glass tube having first and second end portions and a midregion, and a longitudinal aperture extending therethrough. Two suitably prepared glass optical fibers, each having a core and cladding, are disposed within the longitudinal aperture, the fibers extending beyond each end thereof. The fibers are held taut to effect a tension therein, and they are glued to each end portion. The midregion of the member is heated, collapsed about the fibers, and drawn to reduce the diameter thereof.
