ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A bidirectional coupler for interconnecting three optical fibers so that signals transmitted by any one of the optical fibers is transmitted through the coupler to the other two optical fibers. The coupler has three optical fiber sections with cores and cladding, two of which sections are axially aligned and one of which has its axis substantially perpendicular to the axes of the other two sections. All of the axes lie in a common plane, and at the point where the axes intersect, or near thereto, there is the peak of a notch in the cores of the two axially aligned sections and either the surfaces of the cores defining the notch are coated with a reflecting material or a wedge-shaped element with reflecting surfaces is inserted in the notch so that part of the signal energy from either of the two sections is reflected to the core of the third section or parts of the energy from the third section are reflected to the cores of the two sections.
