Abstract: The tunable wavelength division multiplexer is disclosed. The wavelength division multiplexer includes a fiber, a holder, a filter, and an isolator. The fiber carries an optical signal that includes a plurality of channels. The holder has and end and an axis. The holder receives the first fiber in an aperture such that the first fiber is separated from the axis by a distance. The distance is selected to tune the first angle of incidence so that the filter transmits a portion of the optical signal centered around at least one particular wavelength. The optical signal from the fiber impacts the filter at a first angle of incidence. The filter transmits a portion of the optical signal centered around at least one particular wavelength. The isolator is optically coupled with the filter and prevents a first portion of the portion of optical signal transmitted by the filter from returning to the first fiber. Thus, not only is the filter tunable, but because of the presence of the isolator, back reflections to the first fiber are also reduced.

Abstract: Radially symmetric splicer joint and locking assemblies and connectors for optical fibers are provided. The assemblies use splicer joints formed from a slightly deformable plastic material. The splicer joints contain an axial bore having a diameter slightly less then the diameter of the stripped ends the optical fibers inserted into the axial bore. When a stripped fiber is inserted into the axial bore of the splicer joint, the bore expands slightly to frictionally receive the stripped end. The assemblies and connectors use radially symmetric locking to secure the fibers therein. The radially symmetric locking and the surface tension provided by the axial bore against the stripped ends of the fibers minimizes the occurrence of mis-alignment and reduces insertion and return losses.
