Theoretical and empirical comparison of coupling coefficient and refractive index estimation for coupled waveguide fiberKeywords: Coupling coefficient , Coupling ratio , Refractive index , Single mode fiber Abstract: Power transmission and coupling of coupled waveguidefibers are affected on the coupling coefficient. The coupling coefficients obtained in experimental results vary in widely. The coupling coefficients have a function of separation of fiber axis and refractive index of core and cladding. For the empirical formula,coupling coefficient is calculated from experimentalresult of coupling ratio distribution from 1% until 75%. Theoretically, the coupling coefficient has a dependence of some parameters resulting in a sinusoidal curve. Both empirical and theoretical formulae are compared to obtain new phenomena of the refractive index of fibers after fusion.
