Abstract
Nth-order coupled circular arrays of optical fibers can perform switching, splitting, and (de)multiplexing operations by adjusting the coupling between adjacent guides. A generalized 4-guide array to accomplish these operations is described, along with additional more specific results for higher-order systems.
