Design and fabrication of POF Couplers/Splitters for Networking and Displacement Sensing

Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) coupler/ Splitter are important tools of Plastic Optical Networks. Design of fabricating these couplers is significant for the growth of communication system Wide applications including displacement sensors and automobile sensors are taken into consideration. Compared to silica glass fiber and copper cables, POF couplers/ splitters are raising ahead in present technology. The fabrication of 2X2 coupler and 1X2 coupler is done by using heating and gluing. The results of the fabrication have been studied and the values obtained are efficient.
