Product Description
Planarlightwavecircuit(PLC)splitterisa type of optical power management device that is fabricated using silica opticalwaveguide technology. Itfeatures smallsize, highreliability, wideoperating wavelengthrangeandgoodchannel-to-channel uniformity, and is widely used in PON networks to realize optical signal power splitting.
Advanced development of integrated optics allows this planar optical splitter – PLC (Planar Lightwave Circuit) splitter – to combine an incredibly small size, the widest bandwidth covering the entire operating range, the best characteristics for this type of devices, as well as high reliability and stability of operation at any external conditions. Optical PLC splitters are designed to split one input signal into several output signals or combine several signals.
PLC splitters are made by depositing a waveguide layer (silicon dioxide) on a silicon substrate, then a ribbon fiber is welded to the resulting chip. Thereby to this technology, they can combine heat resistance, miniature size and a wide operating wavelength range.
