A fiber coupler is an optical fiber device with one
or more input fibers and one or several output
fibers. Light from an input fiber can appear at one
or more outputs, with the power distribution
potentially depending on the wavelength and
polarization. Such couplers can be fabricated in
different ways, for example by thermally fusing
fibers so that their cores get into intimate
contact.
An optical device used to distribute optical power
among two or more ports or for coupling optical
power between a waveguide and a source or detector,
and thus sometimes interchangeable with a connector.
