Beam-to-fiber coupling with low standing wave ratio

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

When light is coupled into or out of an optical fiber through a normally cut end face, reflection may set up disturbing standing waves. They can be avoided by a slight tilt (≃ 12°) of the end face of the fiber and a corresponding inclination of the fiber axis. Residual reflections of −58 to −68 dB are obtained.
