1550nm SM Filter Coupler (1x2/2x2)

The 1550nm SM Filter Coupler using advanced micro-optic filter technology, offers very low excess loss, broad operating band and high stability and reliability. These components are extensively used with large-core double-clad fiber, multi-mode fiber, as these fibers cannot use the FBT process to make fused couplers.

Features

  • Low Insertion Loss
  • Broad operating band
  • Compact In-Line Package
  • High Stability and Reliability

Applications

  • Fiber Optic Instruments
  • Fiber Sensors
  • Coherent Detecting
  • Research

  1. Above specifications are for device without connector. All parameters are tested at room temperature.
  2. For devices with connectors, IL will be 0.3dB higher, RL will be 5dB lower. Power transmits through the connector less than 2W.
  3. For >10W high power applications, we will use heat sink package, contact us for details.
  4. If there is pulse application, please be sure to inform us of pulse energy and peak power.

  • Due to ongoing design improvements, the package size is subject to change.
  • High power device package must be mounted onto heat sink (active cooling is suggested) with thermal paste.

Order information

P/N: SMFC-①-②-③-④-⑤-⑥-⑦

When you inquire, please provide the correct P/N number according to our ordering information, and attach the appropriate description would be better. If need any connector, we do not recommend choosing a 250μm bare fiber pigtail.
