Theoretical calculations and experimental results are reported for a microstructured polymer optical fiber twin-core coupler. Beat lengths are calculated using a fully vectorial, Fourier decomposition method, which show that the beat length is extremely sensitive to any core asymmetry. Reasonably good agreement between theory and experiment is obtained.
