摘要: When a single-mode fiber is used at wavelength below the cutoff wavelength, guides second-order modes, which travel different phase velocities from fundamental mode. Periodically stressing this two-mode once per beat length can cause coherent coupling between modes. Such modal coupler has been developed and described here. Coupling to one of modes achieved, leaving less than -40-dB residual power in Two couplers have mounted on single strand construct Mach-Zehnder interferometer with better 30-dB on/off ratio. The polarization sensitive be as an in-line polarizer. A 36-dB extinction ratio polarizations observed.
