Plastic Fiber Couplers/Splitters

SKU: PLFC

Agiltron PLAC plastic fiber couplers/splitters distribute incoming optical signals across multiple output fibers. These couplers utilize high-performance plastic optical fibers with a diameter of 1.0 mm with a 0.98mm core and 2.2 mm outer diameter, featuring a core made from polymethyl-methacrylate (PMMA) resin and fluorinated polymer cladding. The 1×2 coupler efficiently splits light 50:50 over a broad wavelength range in the visible spectrum.  Larger 1xN and NxN configurations are created by cascading 1×2 couplers, resulting in approximately 3 dB loss at each junction.
Couplers are efficient in splitting light but incur significant losses when combining lights.
