ABSTRACT:
A lossless optical coupler includes at least one input waveguide, at least two output waveguides and an intermediate optical splitter. The optical splitter of the present invention further comprises an active section adapted to provide contemporaneous splitting and amplification of an input optical signal. The arrangement of the present invention provides an inexpensive and compact integrateable coupling device.
