Description
The GK-LTC Series Ultra Low Ratio Tap Coupler from GKER Photonics is an advanced optical device designed to provide precise light tapping with extremely low ratios. This coupler is engineered for applications where only a minute fraction of the light needs to be diverted from the main signal path to the tap port, making it ideal for high-power optical systems such as fiber lasers and other critical optical sources.
Featuring tap ratios as low as 0.1%, 0.01%, and 0.001%, the GK-LTC Series enables accurate and reliable monitoring without compromising the integrity of the signal or risking damage to the photodetector. The coupler is designed to handle up to 55 watts of continuous optical power, making it suitable for use in high-power applications.
The device boasts exceptional thermal stability, maintaining performance across a wide temperature range from -40°C to +75°C. It ensures low tap insertion loss and high return loss, contributing to accurate measurement and minimal signal degradation. The GK-LTC Series also offers high reliability with minimal variation in performance, even under challenging environmental conditions.
Its robust design and precise engineering make it a valuable component in applications requiring detailed monitoring and analysis, such as optical testing, fiber laser diagnostics, and advanced fiber communication systems. With its low insertion loss, high return loss, and excellent thermal stability, the GK-LTC Series is the optimal choice for demanding optical monitoring and measurement tasks.
