Description
The GKER Polarization Maintaining Tap Coupler (GK-PMTC Series) is engineered to deliver exceptional performance in optical signal splitting with minimal loss and high precision. Utilizing advanced manufacturing techniques, this coupler is designed to handle various splitting ratios, ensuring a high extinction ratio and reliability in demanding applications.
Available in both 1×2 and 2×2 configurations, the GK-PMTC Series supports precise coupling ratios ranging from 1/99 to 50/50, providing flexibility to meet diverse application needs. It features low excess loss, with a maximum of 0.7 dB for 1×2 and 1.1 dB for 2×2 configurations, and ensures high uniformity with a maximum deviation of 0.6 dB for 1×2 and 0.8 dB for 2×2 configurations.
The coupler is built to withstand challenging environmental conditions, with a wide operating temperature range from -5°C to +70°C and a storage temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. It supports continuous wave optical power up to 300 mW, making it suitable for high-power applications.
Designed with polarization maintaining capabilities, it uses PM Panda Fiber for both input and output ports and SMF-28 or PM Panda Fiber for the tap port, ensuring consistent performance and durability. This coupler is ideal for use in optical communication systems, fiber sensors, and testing equipment, where precise signal splitting and reliable operation are critical.
