Polarization Maintaining Fused Couplers
1310nm and 1550nm wavelength ranges


High performance polarization maintaining couplers
and taps in 1x2 and 2x2 fiber configuration


_FEATURES _APPLICATIONS
____ Low excess loss ____ Power splitting
____ High directivity ____ Power monitoring
____ High polarization isolation ____ Optical fiber sensors
____ High power handling ____ Fiber optic gyroscopes
____ High return loss ____ PM EDFA

The Phoenix Photonics range of fused fiber couplers has been developed to offer the designer flexibility in optimizing system performance. The proven FBT technology base has been utilized to optimize specific device parameters, reflected in the specific product categorization. The polarization maintaining couplers give good loss performance whilst preserving the integrity of the input on-axis polarization state.

All of the coupler options offer very low excess loss, good polarization isolation, and are available in a range of coupling ratios from 1% to 50% and have 1x2 or 2x2 configuration..

Notes:
1. Center wavelength can be tailored to customer requirements
2. Polarization isolation also termed extinction ratio is the measure of the ability of the coupler to maintain the linear state of polarization launched on to the slow axis of the coupler.
3. All specifications are for polarization state on the slow axis and measured @ 250C
4. Specifications on this product are being developed further and may change, please ensure that this is the latest edition available from the website.
