ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and method for interconnection for fabrication of combinatorial transmissive star couplers suitable for single-mode fiber optic local area networks. Various types of couplers including evanescent wave couplers are utilized to synthesize artibrarily large fiber optics star couplers free of multi-path interference providing high quality single-mode capability.
