Abstract
In this paper a new design technique for wideband optical couplers is presented. The structure is composed by an asymmetrical coupler sandwiched between two symmetrical ones. Wideband operation is obtained thanks to the compensation of the wavelength variation of the various coupling lengths. The design is based on coupled mode theory and is validated through a BPM simulation.

Achromatic fiber-optic power splitter and related methods

TL;DR: An achromatic power splitter is formed from multiple optical fibers and operates in single mode, which permits it to operate substantially insensitive to changes in wavelength of the input light, changes in the polarization and temperature of the device, and exposure to ionizing radiation as discussed by the authors.
