ABSTRACT
The detailed theory is presented together with design considerations and recent experimental results for an electronically controllable directional coupler for multimode optical fibers. The device, based on plastic-clad silica fiber, is of exceptionally simple construction and compact size and is highly reliable. A theoretical model of the coupler is described and compared with actual device performance. The coupling can be varied from -4 to -28 dB with an excess loss of <0.2 dB over the entire coupling range, in agreement with theory. Improvements in the present device design are also discussed.
