A bidirectional three-way star splitter for optical wave guides having coupler connections for the optical wave guides and output and input coupling elements between the individual coupler connections. Three coupling elements are provided and include a plane-parallel glass or synthetic glass element of homogeneous composition. Additionally, each coupling element has a longitudinal inside surface which is constructed as a plane reflector and a longitudinal outside surface which is constructed as an elliptical reflector, the two longitudinal surfaces being joined at both ends by planar coupling surfaces adjoining the respective optical wave guides. |
