Abstract
In this paper, we proposed and demonstrated $1{\times}7$ type plastic optical fiber(POF) coupler incorporating a tapered acrylic cylinder which works optical combining and dividing region. A fabricated POF coupler showd 2.27~3.31 dB of insertion loss for optical combining and 8.67~11.27dB of insertion loss for optical spitting.
