Abstract
A novel plastic optical fiber(POF) power coupler manufactured with the ultrasonic welding method is investigated.The manufacture process is feasible and convenient.The relation is discussed between the coupling ratio and its main work variables,including the length and thickness of the coupling section and the distance between two fiber axes.The experimental result is identical with the computer simulation result basically.Some measures are provided to reduce the excess loss.The manufactured plastic fiber coupler can satisfy the demand of short-distance communication in coupling ratio and excess loss.
