Abstract
There is described an optical fiber coupler generally having: a first optical fiber having a longitudinally extending multimode guiding region and a first taper portion longitudinally extending between first and second locations of the first optical fiber, the first taper portion having a dimension progressively decreasing along a first taper direction from the first location to the second location; a second optical fiber having a longitudinally extending multimode guiding region and a second taper portion longitudinally extending between third and fourth locations of the second optical fiber, the second taper portion having a dimension progressively decreasing along a second taper direction from the third location to the fourth location; and a coupling region where at least a portion of the first taper portion is optically coupled to a portion of the second taper portion, with the first and second taper directions being opposite to one another.
