| Abstract: | Abstract An experimental study of the WDM response of fused fiber couplers and an M-Z interferometer is presented. The WDM practical implementation limits of single fused fiber couplers, along with fiber tapering measurements, were obtained. Mach-Zehnder interferometric devices based on fused fiber couplers were included in this work in order to surpass the single coupler's WDM limitations and widen the operation range of the analyzed fused fiber devices. |
