Abstract

It is well known that single mode and polarization maintaining fiber couplers are strategic comoonents An both communication and sensor app1 icat ions. We present here an automatic unit capable to produce fused single mode and polarization maintaining fiber couplers having a high degree of splitting ratio reproducibility and stability against environment variations. The development of the couplers production takes origin from the ac- tivities pertaining to fiber optic interferometric sensors (gy- ruscopes and hydrophones).
