Miniature Inline Polarization Maintaining Splitters/ Taps/Combiners

Name: Miniature Inline Polarization Maintaining Splitters/ Taps/Combiners
Brand: OZ Optics
Availability: InStock

Description

OZ Optics’ miniature fiber optic beam splitters are used to split the light traveling through a fiber into two fibers, or to split or combine orthogonally polarized light into separate fibers. These splitters feature a rugged miniature housing to fit into compact spaces in equipment and systems. Light from a fiber is first collimated, then sent through a beamsplitting optic to divide it into two beams by either a fixed ratio or into two orthogonal polarizations. The resultant output beams are then coupled back into the output fibers. This flexible design allows one to manufacture splitters with different fiber types on the input and output ports

Frequently Asked Questions

What are OZ Optics’ miniature fiber optic beam splitters used for?

They are used to split the light traveling through a fiber into two fibers, or to split or combine orthogonally polarized light into separate fibers.

What are the features of these splitters?

The features include a rugged compact design, broad wavelength range, low insertion loss, high extinction ratio, low return losses, low Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL), and low Wavelength Dependent Loss (WDL).

What are some applications of these splitters?

They can be used in EDFA amplifiers, Raman amplifier combiners, polarization mode dispersion compensation, polarization extinction ratio measurements, fiber optic sensors, coherent communication systems, and OCT systems.

What are the two different configurations in which miniature inline splitters are sold?

They are sold as a polarization maintaining splitter, with a fixed splitting ratio, and a polarizing splitter, to split and combine orthogonal polarizations.

How do polarization maintaining splitters work?

They use a partially reflecting mirror to transmit a portion of the light from the input fiber to the main output fiber, and reflect the remainder of the light to the second output fiber. All ports made using polarization maintaining fiber are aligned so that polarized light aligned parallel to the stress rods on the input fiber emerge from the output fibers in the same manner, maintaining the polarization state to a high degree.
