Frequently Asked Questions

The 1550nm Polarization Maintaining Filter Coupler is used to split high power linearly polarized light into multiple paths without perturbing the line are state of polarization (SOP). It can also be used as a power tap to monitor signal power in a PM fiber system without disturbing the linear SOP of light propagating in the PM fiber. Applications include PM fiber interferometers, power sharing in polarization sensitive systems, and signal monitoring in PM fiber systems.

The PM Filter Coupler features low insertion loss, high extinction ratio, compact in-line package, high stability, and reliability. It is also RoHS compliant.

The Filter Coupler is used in fiber optic instruments, fiber sensors, coherent detecting, and research.

The performance specifications of the Filter Coupler include low excess loss, broad operating band, and high stability and reliability. The IL will be 0.3dB higher and RL will be 5dB lower for devices with connectors. Power transmits through the connector less than 2W. For >10W high power applications, a heat sink package is used.
