The 2050nm Polarization Maintaining Filter Coupler is a polarization maintaining coupler which splits the light from the input PM fiber into two output PM fibers. The PM Filter Coupler supports the lightwave of each polarization to work, without blocking any polarization. The rugged stainless-steel package is designed for high optical performance and stability. This compact device offers low excess insertion loss, low back reflection, and high extinction ratio.

The PM Filter Coupler supports the lightwave of each polarization to work, without blocking any polarization. The rugged stainless-steel package is designed for high optical performance and stability. This compact device offers low excess insertion loss, low back reflection, and high extinction ratio. Split ratios from 1 to 50% are available.
The PM Filter Coupler can be used to split high power linearly polarized light into multiple paths without perturbing the line are state of polarization (SOP). It can also be used as a power tap to monitor signal power in a PM fiber system without disturbing the linear SOP of light propagating in the PM fiber. Applications include PM fiber interferometers, power sharing in polarization sensitive systems, and signal monitoring in PM fiber systems.
If you do not see a standard PM Filter Coupler that meets your needs, we welcome the opportunity to review your desired specification and quote a custom PM Filter Coupler. Requests for custom fiber pigtails, different wavelengths, tap Ratio and handling power of operation or other specific needs will be readily addressed.
