    Optical Coupler Components

    When specifying optical couplers you should consider the fiber optic cable, the coupler type, signal wavelength, number of inputs and outputs, as well as insertion loss, splitting ratio, and polarization dependent loss (PDL).Fiber optic couplers can either be passive or active devices. Passivefiber optic couplers are said to be passive as no power is required for operation. They are simple fiber optic components that are used to redirect light waves. Passive couplers either use micro-lenses, graded-refractive-index (GRIN) rods and beam splitters, optical mixers, or spl. Types of fiber optic couplers include splitters, combiners, X-couplers, trees, and stars, which all include single window, dual window, or wideband transmissions.
