There is described an optical fiber coupler in which at least one fiber is a multiple-clad fiber, containing a single-mode core supporting a single guiding mode and an inner multi-mode cladding guiding multiple modes. The multiple-clad fiber is fused with a second fiber of a different etendue to create an optical fiber coupler having an enhanced multi-mode signal transmission.

Asymmetric optical fiber coupler

There is described a double-clad fiber coupler (DCFC) composed of two double-clad fibers that have been fused together and tapered. The DCFC allows the propagation of light in the fundamental mode in its single-mode core with very little loss. Back reflected light may be collected two ways: by the core of the double-clad fiber and by the inner cladding of the double-clad fiber.
