Abstract

We report an inexpensive and versatile technique for coupling multichannel waveguides to a fiber array using V-grooves in perspex substrates that are accurately machined by a computer-controlled CO2 laser system. An excess loss of less than 1 dB could be achieved for coupling between 1 × 2, 1 × 3, and 1 × 4 branching circuits and an array of N-port fibers.
