Abstract
A device may splice, at a target splice point, a first end of a twisted fiber having a non-concentric core to an input end of a target fiber having a concentric core to form a spliced fiber wherein the concentric core of the target fiber and the non-concentric core of the twisted fiber have a particular offset at the target splice point. The device may taper at least a portion of the twisted fiber to form a tapered region of the spliced fiber and such that the particular offset at the target splice point corresponds to a pre-configured core offset wherein the target splice point is within the tapered region of the spliced fiber.
