Home-Made Optical 1x12 Fused-Taper-Twisted Polymer Optical Fiber Splitters for Small World Communication

Home made 1x12 fused-taper-twisted polymer optical fiber (POF) splitters has been fabricated by fused technique. The device is fabricated by cascading three unit of 1x3 and one unit of 1x4 POF based splitter. of the splitter which proposed to be used in home network and passive night vision application was reported. Some parameters, such as optical output power, POFs attenuation characteristics and power losses on the network were observed. Although the maximum output power of the splitter is about 40% but it can be improved gradually through experience and practice.
