Abstract
A capillary combiner housing for an optical fiber combiner has an inner combiner casing supporting optical fibers. The capillary combiner housing includes a non-metallic body defining a lumen between an input side and an output side, the lumen sized to receive the inner combiner casing, the non-metallic body having a coefficient of thermal expansion substantially matching that of the inner combiner casing. Also included is a first aperture in the input side, the first aperture having a first inside diameter sized to receive multiple input optical fibers, and a second aperture in the output side, the second aperture having a second inside diameter sized to receive an output fiber.
