Abstract: A unitary fiber optic coupling device (10) in which N fibers (16) (N>3) extend in a parallel array having two coupling regions (11, 12) of reduced cross-sectional area. At least one of the fibers (16) is formed of two sections that are situated end-to-end, an active core-containing fiber (47) section that is situated in the first coupling region and a dummy fiber section (52) that is situated in the second coupling region. The coupler also contains at least second and third fibers that are active core-containing fibers (47) throughout their lengths. The second and third fibers couple to one another in the first coupling region but remain uncoupled to one another in the second coupling region. Two fibers that couple in the first coupling region do not couple in the second coupling region, thus avoiding resonance effects.

Abstract: Athermalized optical waveguide devices and methods of making the athermalized devices are described. Boron is incorporated into the composition of the optical waveguides in order to athermalize the waveguides by reducing spectral shifts caused by changes in temperature. The invention includes the utilization of boron dopants in the core and cladding of optical waveguide devices such as Mach-Zehnder coupler devices and long period fiber gratings.

Abstract: A fiber optic coupler comprising a plurality of single-mode optical fibers, each of which is tapered to form a small diameter section that extends in contiguous relationship with the small diameter sections of the other fibers to form a coupling region. Each of the fibers has a core surrounded by a cladding of refractive index lower than that of the core. At least one of the fibers has a refractive index pedestal of refractive index ni between said core and cladding, wherein n1>ni>n2, n1 and n2 being the refractive indices of the core and cladding, respectively.

Abstract: A low loss fiber optic coupler (31) of the type wherein a plurality of single-mode optical fibers (19,20) are fused together along a portion of the lengths thereof to form a coupling region (27). Each fiber (19,20) includes a core (20a) and a cladding (20b), the lowest refractive index of the fiber claddings (20b) being n2. Each of the output fibers (20) of the coupler (31) further includes a surface region (20c) of refractive index n4 that inhibits the coupling of light to lossy composite modes, n4 being lower than n2.
