Abstract

The design and construction of a unidirectional star coupler for single-fiber distribution systems are described. A rectangular mixing section is required to obtain uniform output distribution. Four-port stars have been constructed with losses only ½ to 1 dB greater than packing fraction. For any given input, outputs are uniform to within about ±1 dB.
