Fiber Coupling Test Suite

 

The following problems were devised as a test suite for fiber coupling efficiency algorithms. Each problem includes lens prescriptions, relevant information from our tests, and experimental results, where possible.

 

Single-Mode to Single-Mode Collimators

 

Dual-Fiber (Single-Mode) Collimator

 

Diode to Single-Mode Fiber Collimator

 

Single-Mode to Multi-Mode Collimator

 

Multi-Mode to Multi-Mode Collimator

 

In addition, a description of the fundamental mode of SMF-28, which is relevant to some of the problems, is presented along with the source code and .dll required by ZEMAX for POP.
