Abstract
A brancher-mixer for optical fibres bundles enabling the luminous energy emanating from a transmitting bundle to be divided between two receiving bundles and essentially consisting of two monofibres laterally coupled at one of their ends to divide the luminous flux emanating from the transmitting bundle. The two monofibres are arranged in a common casing provided with mechanical connections to establish the optical connections to the three bundles of fibres.
