Abstract

The well known phenomenon of frustrated total internal reflection can be used to design an optical directional coupling device with a continuously variable coupling coefficient. Such a coupler has been designed using two crown glass prisms separated by a narrow gap filled with air or an appropriate liquid. Good agreement of the measured and theoretical coupling coefficients has been observed.
