3x3 "smiley" coupler
Here, we show a combiner consisting in a half coupler made of three fibers; two single-mode fibers and a multimode fiber. It is possible to create the "smiley" structure by fusing the fibers and sectioning the coupler in the center of the fused region. Proximally to the fused region, the coupler preserves the three distinct ports enabling each fiber to act as an independent illumination and/or detection channel. Such structure has a wide variety of applications, notably for opto-genetics.
This video shows the output of the structure with varying level of injection light intensity.
