We propose an improved method to control the incident light power distribution ratio in each core of a multi-core optical fiber. This method is realized by tapering the multi-core fiber to be a bi-tapered shape after fusing the multi-core fiber with a normal single mode fiber on the condition of core alignment. Base on a coupling theoretical model and analysis, the controlling method is introduced, and the results are demonstrated by both theory and experiment. Finally, this incident power distribution controlling method provides a helpful and potential application prospect for multi-core optical fibers devices and sensors.
