ABC SM Couplers & Combiners

PM or SM Splitters/Combiners; 1550 nm, Other; Splitting Ratio 50/50-90/10; PDL ±0.25 dB; Directivity >50 dB OZ Optics’ fiber optic beamsplitters are used to divide light from one fiber into two or more fibers. Light from an input fiber is first collimated, then sent through a beam-splitting optic to divide it into two. The resultant output beams are then focused back into the output fibers. Both 1xN and 2xN splitters can be constructed in this fashion with as many as eight or more outputs, with both low return losses and low insertion losses. Standard parts available in this series are FOBS-12P (1x2) and FOBS-22P (2x2) pigtail-style splitters, FOBS-12 (1x2) and FOBS-22 (2x2) receptacle-style splitters, as well as LDBS-12P (pigtail-style) and LDBS-1 (receptacle-style) laser diode to fiber splitters, and finally ULBS-12P (pigtail-style) and ULBS-1 (receptacle-style) laser to fiber splitters This design is extremely flexible, allowing to use different fiber types on different ports, and different beamsplitter optics inside. Custom designs combining circulators, polarizing splitters and non-polarizing splitters in the same package are routinely manufactured. Splitters can be made with either fibers permanently attached to each port (pigtail style) or with receptacles on each port that one can plug your fiber into (receptacle style). OZ Optics can also build source to fiber couplers with built-in beamsplitters for either laser or laser diode sources. Contact AMS Technologies for details. If size is a concern, we recommend that you consider OZ Optics’ miniature line of splitters. Within OZ Optics’ series of beamsplitters and combiners, the two most common types of splitters offered are polarizing beamsplitters and polarization maintaining (PM) beamsplitters. Polarizing beamsplitters split incoming light into two orthogonal states. They can also be used to combine the light from two fibers into a single output fiber. When used as a beam combiner, each input signal will transmit along a different output polarization axis. PM splitters use a partially reflecting mirror to transmit a portion of the light from the input fiber to the main output fiber and reflect the remainder of the light to the second output fiber. All ports made using polarization maintaining fiber are aligned so that polarized light aligned parallel to the stress rods on the input fiber emerges from the output fibers in the same manner, maintaining the polarization state to a high degree. Splitters that only split off a small portion of the input light are commonly known as taps and often used for power monitoring applications. For a very cost-effective alternative configuration, combining the functions of a tap and monitor photodiode in a single unit, we invite you to review OZ Optics’ OPM series of inline optical taps and monitors.

Multi Mode; 190 to 2400 nm; Core Diameter 50 to 1500 µm; Cladding Diameter 125 to 1650 µm; Coating Acrylate, Polyimide, Nylon, Tefzel, Aluminium, Gold; Numerical Aperture 0.12, 0.22, 0.26Fiberguide’s Anhydroguide™ (AFS/AFM/AFH) and Superguide™ (SFS/SFM/SFH) silica core, silica clad, polymer coated multi mode fibers are primarily used in photonics applications where individual or bundled large core (>50 µm) multi mode fibers are needed for the transmission of optical energy. These fibers can be coated with a variety of polymers or even metalized with aluminium or gold for extreme temperature performance. While the AFS series features a low hydroxyl ion concentration (low OH) and works in the visible to IR range, SFS variants with high hydroxyl ion concentration are suitable for the UV to visible range. Options include Acrylate (-Y), Polyimide (-T), Nylon (-N), Tefzel (-Z), Aluminium (-A) and Gold (-G) coatings as well as standard (AFS/SFS), high (AFH/SFH) and low (AFM/SFM) numerical aperture. As a further option, fibers can also be provided with a broad selection of shaped tips – standard configurations as well as custom designed shapes. Shaped tip fibers provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection. Some fiber types can also be end capped to achieve higher coupled power into a fiber core by reducing the power density at the air / silica interface, commonly the point of laser damage. End cap diameters and lengths are offered for select numerical apertures and fiber cores size, but can be easily customized for a variety of fiber types and specialized applications. Additionally, all fiber types can be equipped on demand with Fiberguide’s patented RARe Motheye anti-reflective technology that enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range.
