The objective of this paper is to provide a review of the theory, techniques, and applications of optical couplers.
Optical Coupler
The coupling ratio (or splitting proportions) depends on the coupler configuration, which is the ratio that the input optical signals are divided between the outputs, i.e., a 50:50 coupling ratio in a 1x2 coupler
