Four-port fiber frequency shifter with a null taper coupler

A prototype of a new design of fiber frequency shifter, based on a special four-port fused taper coupler with a null maximum coupling ratio, is reported. In this coupler the constituent fibers are so dissimilar that the maximum coupling is (ideally) zero. In the presence of a flexural acoustic wave,...
