Fiber Coupled Detectors
Single Mode and PM Inline Tap Power Monitor
The Tap Optical Power Monitor is a hybrid fiber optical passive component that integrates a thin-film tap of flat spectral response with a high sensitivity PIN photodiode for power monitoring applications. The Power Monitor minimizes component assembly costs and module footprint while increasing module design efficiency by facilitating fiber Management. The Power Monitor combines the functionality of an optical coupler and a photodiode while delivering low insertion loss and low dark current with high temperature stability over a wide wavelength range. Our directional version works well from 1260nm to 1620nm band.

System integration
Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Single Mode and PM Inline Tap Power Monitor to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SMF-28, PM1550, SM600, Hi780, SM800, Hi1060, SM1950, 50/125, PM630, PM780, PM850, PM980, PM1950 · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900umTube, Special
- Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
- Wavelength and loss budget
- Wavelength: 1260~1620, 1880, 2000, 1060, 980, 850, 780, 630
- Check the Fiber Coupled Detectors passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
