Abstract
An optical fiber junction device for permanently coupling a pair of optical fibers with a third optical fiber. The end portions of the pair of fibers are fused together in side-by-side relationship so that their endfaces are coplanar, the cross-sectional area of this structure decreasing toward the endfaces of the pair of fibers. The endface of the third fiber is fused to the endfaces of the pair of fibers.
