Abstract
This paper has illustrated the management of lateral misalignment loss and total insertion loss with beam waist control in high contrast single mode coupling fibers. The beam waist variations are clarified versus the fiber coupler wavelength and coupling length variations for the silica glass/fluoride glass fiber coupler with the optimum incident beam angle of 60°. Besides, the coupling loss is demonstrated against the fiber coupler wavelength and coupling length variations for the silica glass/fluoride glass fiber coupler with the optimum incident beam angle of 60°. The optimum beam waist and optimum coupling loss are deeply studied against the fiber coupler core radius variations for the silica/fluoride glass fiber coupler with the optimum incident beam angle of 60° and wavelength of 1,550 nm.
