Couplers, Splitters & Combiners

Switchable Fiber Optical Splitter/Coupler

The Switchable Fiber Optical Splitter in 1×2 format splits an incoming optical signal into two output optical fibers with the capability of switching between two splitting ratios. The initial split ratio should be predefined in design, while the second split ratio will be preset in delivery. When the control signal is low (<0.8V), the splitter sustains an initial ratio. When applying the high control voltage (3~5V), the splitting ratio will be switched from the initial ratio to the secondary one. The device is bidirectional, transmitting light in both directions simultaneously. In the 2×1 format, the input light from two inputs will be split into two outputs in a similar way of the 1×2 format, but the splitting ratio is reversed between the two input lights.
