VBS-22 Evanescence-Based Variable Split Ratio Fiber Splitter/Coupler

Product information "VBS-22 Evanescence-Based Variable Split Ratio Fiber Splitter/Coupler"

400-2000 nm; Splitting/Coupling Ratio 0-100%; Insertion Loss <0.1, 0.5 dB; Polarization Extinction Ratio >18, >20 dB; Fiber Type SM, PM

OZ Optics’ VBS-22 evanescence based variable split ratio fiber splitter provides splitting ratios tunable from 0% to 100% with negligible optical loss. The device consists of two side-polished fibers mated to induce evanescent field coupling. The coupling ratio is controlled by adjusting the distance between the cores of the two side-polished fibers. PM fiber models with customer specified birefringence axis alignment are available.

Raman Pump Combiners are designed for combining multiple pumps with different wavelengths for Raman amplifiers.In addition to standard size WDMs, LightComm Technology also provides mini size single mode WDMs featuring the same function and performance as the regular WDM couplers. These mini size WDMs are widely used in EDFA modules and communication systems. Key Features: Single Mode Regular and Mini Size Versions Available High Isolation Low PDL Low Excess Loss High Stability and Reliability Applications: EDFA Modules; WDM Systems; Testing Instruments

WDM MM WDMs
Multi Mode WDMS, Pigtail, Miniature and Freespace to Fiber Style; 400 to 1600 nm; Return Loss 40, 50, 60 dB; Insertion Loss 0.8, 1.0, 1.2 dB; Power Handling 200, 500 mW OZ Optics’ WDM series of multi mode wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs) are used to combine light of different wavelengths into a single fiber. The light from each fiber is first collimated. The collimated beams are then combined using a dichroic filter, with typically the longer wavelength transmitted from port T, the shorter wavelength reflected from port R. The combined beams are then focused into the output fiber at Port 1. OZ Optics manufacturers wave division multiplexers for both telecom and non-telecom applications. One advantage of OZ Optics’ WDMs is that different fiber types can be used on the input and output ends of the device. This is especially useful in fiber amplifier applications, when the Erbium doped fibers have a different core diameter and numerical aperture. WDMs with 1 dB typical insertion loss have been made this way. OZ Optics also offers source to fiber wavelength division multiplexers, where the sources are mounted directly onto the device. Miniature size WDMs are ideal for telecommunication applications such as drop/add filters for either coarse WDM (CWDM) or dense WDM (DWDM) applications. They are also used for combining 980 to 1080 nm pump light with 1550 nm signals in erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). Variants with higher extinction ratios are available on request. OZ Optics specializes in manufacturing custom designed WDM's. Contact AMS Technologies for further information.
