    Variable ratio couplers are made with optically contacted polished fibers mounted in substrate blocks that have transverse motion in the contact plane to adjust core-to-core separation distance. In the case of PM fiber, the orientation of the fast and slow axes is preserved during the motion. A negligibly thick oil layer is used to lubricate the substrate blocks and ensure smooth motion. Long term ratio stability is better than 1% under laboratory conditions.

    Fine transverse motion is accomplished by means of a micrometer and lever system. The 25:1 lever ratio gives approximately one micron of motion at the coupler center per 0.001 inch division on the micrometer.

    This motion however, is not free of hysteresis or backlash and a particular micrometer reading or selected position for the remote 905-M driver will not correspond to a particular fixed ratio, only to a nominal ratio. Accurate ratio settings can only be made by observation of the outputs. (X and Y if input A or B). Hysteresis and backlash tend to be reduced if the device is used repeatedly.

    Available fibers have cutoff wavelengths ranging from 450 nm to 1550 nm. For a particular fiber used in a variable coupler the useful bandwidth extends from the single mode cutoff wavelength to approximately 1.3 times the cutoff wavelength, where losses begin to occur.

    The Model 905(P)-M is the Model 905 variable ratio coupler, the ratio can be remotely controlled with a PC (through a USB port) using a New Focus Picomotor™ and Controller/Driver. The Picomotor can also be adjusted using the manual hand knob adjustment. The knob can be rotated while the motor is plugged into the driver and the driver is on but not driving the motor. The drive pulses are only sent to the Picomotor when commanded to by the controller.

    Picomotor drivers (8742-4-KIT) which provide computer control via USB and Ethernet communication interface are supplied or can be purchased directly from Newport. Both interfaces are well supported via Windows DLL, sample LabVIEW™ VIs, and intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) Windows application with device auto-discovery feature.

    The 905(P)-M is not calibrated for motor position vs. coupling ratio. The Picomotor is simply a method of remote adjustment. Units are shipped in a nominal 50/50 ratio position at the stated wavelength of operation. Ratio settings are made by observation of the output powers (X and Y if input A or B).

    Coupler Bandwidth

    The coupler bandwidth, or change in coupling ratio with wavelength, is a complex function of coupling ratio. This is shown in the figure below, where the measured coupling ratio curves for a tunable coupler (model 905P) at the wavelengths 1537nm and 1552nm are superimposed.

    The tunable coupler operates by varying the core separation between fibers; as the fiber cores approach, coupling increases. If the coupling increases to 100% before fiber core separation is minimized, the phenomenon called overcoupling occurs. Overcoupling causes light to couple back into the original fiber, hence reducing the coupling ratio. It is possible to have several overcoupling cycles for long interaction length and small separation.

    As indicated by A on Figure 1, for the first 50/50 (3dB) setting, a 3% change in coupling occurs for 1% change in wavelength.The coupling position can also be set at the 150% (overcoupled) position, labeled B, which is more sensitive, with a 7.5% change in coupling.Measured coupling curves for more widely spaced wavelengths are shown in the following figure.

    Low loss WDMs (model 954P-P), such as those with ratios 1550/980 and 1060/810, can be manufactured taking advantage of such coupling relationships, as shown below.
