The Ultra Low Ratio Tap Coupler splits a very small amount of light from a signal path to a tap port. Low tap ratios such as 0.1%, 0.01% or 0.001% enable the monitoring photodetector to operate without damage or saturation. It is suitable for very high optical power, its main application is in the monitoring of optical sources such as fiber lasers.
The (1+1)×1 Multimode Pump & Signal Combiner enables highly efficient combining of the powers from 1 multimode pump diode and a signal beam from the signal fiber into a double clad output fiber. The Pump & Signal Combiner is also available for different fiber types.
The Integrated Tap Photodiode (TAPD) integrates the functionality of an optical coupler and a photodiode for optical network's power detection. It applies for channel power monitoring in DWDM system, in-line optical network switching protection monitoring (OLP), reconfigurable optical add/drop multiplexers (ROADM), and gain/attenuation monitoring in EDFAs and networks's power detection, etc.
