ABSTRACT:
A reciprocal coupler for connecting anyone of a plurality of optical signal transmission lines to all the other transmission lines in an optical communication system.
The coupler comprises an elongated transparent optical mixing rod optically coupled by a first endface to each of the waveguides forming the lines to be interconnected and by its second endface to both ends of return guides provided by a fiber bundle which form a loop.
