Abstract(in English) We propose a new coupling scheme for embedding inline optical devices. The fundamental mode with large MFD is used to reduce diffraction in the fiber gap. By the use of GIF chips the MFD from a SMF is expanded up to 60μm, and collimated. The collimated beam can propagate long distance with the same MFD, giving this way flexibility in the formation of groove to insert optical devices. It was confirmed the propagation up to 50cm of a beam with constant MFD of 60μm. In this approach, 1dB loss was reached at 1.5mm gap. Furthermore, we propose a configuration employing a hemispherically-ended GIF. This configuration decreases the diffraction loss in the gap and expands the working distance. The hemispherically-ended GIF is theoretically discussed and experimentally confirmed. The minimum loss of 0.54dB was achieved at the fiber gap of 1.8mm. Fiber gap with values of such order allow the fabrication of large devices with very low insertion loss.
