Abstract
Three methods have been used successfully in fabricating evanescent optical couplers with single-mode and multimode optical fibers. These approaches comprise cementing fibers into plates before grinding and polishing, stretching adjacent fibers while heated, and embedding the fibers into lower melting temperature glass before grinding and polishing.
