Product description

The Gooch & Housego Visible PM Coupler enables the accurate monitoring and splitting of optical signals in polarization maintaining fiber.

Manufactured using industry-standard PM fiber, the Visible PM Coupler is available in any coupling ratio from 1 – 50%.

Based on G&H’s fused fiber technology, the Visible PM Coupler demonstrates very low loss, high power handling, and there is no price penalty for adding a second input port.

The center operating wavelength may be chosen from within a wide variety of operating passbands, from 450nm to 700nm.

In common with all PM components, it is necessary to launch into either the slow or the fast axis to maintain polarization. For the G&H Visible PM Coupler, performance is characterized on slow axis launch, although fast axis and dual axis versions are also available if requested.

Key features

  • High Polarization Extinction Ratio
  • Low excess loss
  • High power handling
  • 450nm to 700nm available
  • Slow axis operation as standard
  • Fast and Dual axis operation also available
