Use these checks to connect Variable Fiber Optical Splitter/Coupler 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, HI1060, HI780, PM1550, PM980, Special · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900um tube, 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: 1060nm, 1310nm, 1550nm, 1625nm, Special
- Check the Couplers, Splitters & Combiners 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.
- Control interface
- Driver: 20kHz, 100kHz, 500kHz, 1MHz, No Drift, Special
- Match supply voltage, analog or digital command range, connector pinout and default optical state to the instrument interlock. Confirm the unpowered state explicitly — it decides what happens to the link on a power failure.
