OPC PHOTONICS uses unique fusing technique and polarization maintaining fiber to build the 3×3 monolithic fused PM fiber standard splitter. The coupling ratio could be selected according to customer’s request. It features low excess loss, small size and high polarization extinction ratio. 3×3 monolithic fused PM fiber standard splitter is widely used for optical sensors and optical gyro.

If you do not see a standard PM Fused Coupler that meets your needs, we welcome the opportunity to review your desired specification and quote a custom PM fused Coupler. Requests for custom fiber pigtails, different wavelengths, tap Ratio and handling power of operation or other specific needs will be readily addressed.

  1. Above specifications are for device without connector, and the PM fused coupler is both axis working, no axis can be blocked; default test extinction ratio is on the slow axis. All parameters are tested at room temperature.
  2. For devices with connectors, IL will be 0.3dB higher, RL will be 5dB lower and ER will be 2dB lower. Power transmits through the connector less than 2W. The default connector key is aligned to slow axis.
  3. For >10W high power applications, we will use heat sink package, contact OPC PHOTONICS for details.
  4. If there is pulse application, please be sure to inform us of pulse energy and peak power.
