FPW-X PM WDMs

Product information "FPW-X PM WDMs"

Fused; Fiber Type PM Panda; 780-2100 nm; Number of Legs 1x2, 2x2; IL <0.3-<1.0 dB; RL 55 dB; PER >15->20 dB; Dimensions Ø3.0x85, 5x5x85 mm

Gooch & Housego’s FPW-xxxxxxxxx series of fused polarization maintaining (PM) wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs) combine multiple wavelengths of light in PM fiber whilst maintaining polarization.

Gooch & Housego (G&H) proprietary PM manufacturing technology provides low loss with high polarization extinction ratio. The all-fiber construction offers excellent reliability and high power handling characteristics.

These high-performance parts are available in many wavelength configurations, housing, fiber and connector options and can therefore be readily specified in a wide variety of applications, enabling rapid design cycles and new project builds.

In common with all PM components, it is necessary to launch into either the slow or the fast axis to maintain polarization. For the G&H FPW-X series of PM WDMs, specifications are based on slow axis launch, although fast axis versions are also available if requested.
