ABSTRACT:
An optical fiber tap for connecting polymer optical fibers is achieved by heating an end section of the fibers to be connected and deforming the end sections into a non-circular cross-sectional shape so as to form a throughput cross-sectional area and a add/drop throughput area, the optical fiber ends being thereafter aligned so as to allow for efficient signal extraction and injection.
