The simplest coupler,fiber optic splitters device. fiber optic coupler, also known as beam splitter, used in a certain split the wire. It is divided into several beam fiber bundle depends on quartz substrate integrated waveguide optical power distribution device, as in the coaxial cable transmission system, optical network system must also be of the same link to branch distribution, and the need of optical fiber branching device of the optical signal, this is the most important passive fiber link equipment, fiber optic series device has a lot of input and output terminal and terminal, especially applicable for passive optical networks (BPON, EPON, GPON, FTTX, FTTH etc.) connected to the medium density fiberboard (MDF) and the terminal branch of the signal device also can achieve with light.
A fiber-optic splitter is a device that takes a single fiber optics signal and divides it into multiple signals. Fiber optic splitter is one of the key components in FTTH. Fiber optic splitters can be terminated with different kinds of connectors, the main package could be box type or stainless tube type, one is usually used with 2mm or 3mm outer diameter cable, the other is usually used with 0.9mm outer diameter cables. Based on working wavelength difference there are single window and dual window fiber optic splitters. And there are fiber splitter single mode and multimode fiber splitter. Typical connectors installed on the fiber optic splitters are FC or SC type.
Single-mode
If all involved fibers of the fiber coupler are single-mode ,there are certain physical restrictions on the performance with the coupler. as an example, it isn’t easy to combine two inputs of the same optical frequency into one single-polarization output without significant excess losses. However, a fiber optic coupler which may combine two inputs at different wavelengths into one output,which can be commonly observed in fiber amplifiers to mix the signal input as well as the pump wave.
Multimode
Don’t forget, fiber couplers not merely have single-mode couplers,but also have multimode couplers.Multimode Coupler is fabricated from graded index fibers with core diameters of 50um or 62.5um. Fiber optic multimode couplers are utilized for short distance communications at 1310nm or 850nm. Multimode couplers are produced utilizing a technique or fusion technique. They are available for many common multimode fibers with core diameters from 50μm to 1500μm.
