Optical Coupler Development.
Abstract
This report summarizes contract progress and optical coupler development and fiber optic strength improvement programs. Results and fabrication techniques are reported for a transition structure which varies in cross-section from rectangular (matching doubleheterostructure laser active areas) to round geometries similar to single mode fiber cross-sections. Distributed couplers for use with electro-optic modulators produced on substrates which do not cleave easily are also discussed. Preliminary results of long-gauge length fiber strength testing and strength improvement are summarized and lithium tantalate post-deposition microstructure modification results are presented.
