Fiber optic coupler return loss

Home / Fiber optic coupler return loss

Return loss, also known as reflection loss or back reflection, is the measurement of the amount of light reflected back towards the source when it encounters a fiber optic connector. It is caused by variations in refractive index, mismatches in fiber core diameter, and surface. This article analyzes the influence of fiber end face diameter, coupler waist core arrangement, and output fiber end angle on the return loss of high-power fiber couplers used in conjunction with high-power semiconductor lasers for beam combining in high-power fiber amplifiers.

Return loss measurement of fiber optic components

In order to perform return loss measurements on a device under test the test setup must consist of a laser source, a fiber optic coupler, and a detector (see Figure 1). Configuring the HP 8153A multi-
