0.3-dB-Loss SCF-to-MCF Power Splitter Based on a Biconical Splice Taper

We present a low-loss SCF-to-MCF power splitter based on a biconical splice taper. Power distribution uniformity is enhanced through a macrobending-based post-processing technique that compensates for MCF core inhomogeneity, enabling precise output balancing without additional loss and improving the practicality of scalable splitter designs.

Abstract

We present a low-loss SCF-to-MCF power splitter based on a biconical splice taper. Power distribution uniformity is enhanced through a macrobending-based post-processing technique that compensates for MCF core inhomogeneity, enabling precise output balancing without additional loss and improving the practicality of scalable splitter designs.
