488 - 2100 nm Polarization Maintaining Fused Coupler

488 - 2100 nm Polarization Maintaining Fused Coupler

The Polarization Maintaining Fused Coupler offers very low insertion loss, high polarization extinction ratio and excellent environmental stability. Accurate coupling ratios from 0.01/99.99 to 50/50 are available with very good uniformity at center wavelength. These components find extensive applications to perform power splitting and mornitoring functions in all kinds of optical communication systems.

1ER data listed in the table are for the ports with coupling ratio greater than 10%. It will be 2 dB lower for a tap port with coupling ratio between 1-10%. For 1% tap port, ER is not considered.
2ER will be 2 dB lower for Nufern FUD-3460 fiber and Nufern PM 1950.  
3ER is 2 dB lower for each connector added. Connector key is aligned to slow axis.
4The Optical Power is 1 W only for connector added. For visible wavelength, the limit is 50 mW.
5RL is 5 dB lower for connector added. 
6Data tested at central wavelength only.
