ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a method for manufacturing an optical fiber coupler in which an optical fiber is elongated and heated by using a heating source under a constant tension. The heat source is controlled based on the ratio of a target elongating speed and an actual elongating speed of the optical fiber.
