Relationship Between The Coupler And Splitter
Relationship between the coupler and splitter: In fact, splitter is named for the function of the device, coupler named for its working principle, splitter may be based coupler, and may be based on the waveguide or the separating element, coupler can be done either the splitter, but also can be done WDM, attenuator.
Couplers:
Fiber optic couplers either split optical signals into multiple paths or combine multiple signals on one path. Optical signals are more complex than electrical signals, making optical couplers trickier to design than their electrical counterparts. Like electrical currents, a flow of signal carriers, in this case photons, comprise the optical signal. However, an optical signal does not flow through the receiver to the ground. Rather, at the receiver, a detector absorbs the signal flow. Multiple receivers, connected in a series, would receive no signal past the first receiver which would absorb the entire signal. Thus, multiple parallel optical output ports must divide the signal between the ports, reducing its magnitude. The number of input and output ports, expressed as an N x M configuration, characterizes a coupler. The letter N represents the number of input fibers, and M represents the number of output fibers. Fused couplers can be made in any configuration, but they commonly use multiples of two (2 x 2, 4 x 4, 8 x 8, etc.).
Splitter:
Fiber
optic splitter is a device that split the fiber
optic light into several parts by a certain ratio. The simplest couplers are
fiber optic splitters. These devices possess at least three ports but may have
more than 32 for more complex devices. Fiber optic splitters are important
passive components used in FTTX networks. But two kinds of fiber splitters are
popular used, one is the traditional fused type fiber optic splitter (FBT
splitter), which features competitive prices; the other is PLC fiber optic
splitter, which is compact size and suit for density applications. Both of them
have its advantages to suit for different requirement.
Fiber optic couplers or splitters are available in a selection of styles and sizes to separate or combine light with minimal loss. All couplers are produced employing a proprietary procedure that produces reliable, low-cost devices. They're rugged and impervious to common high operating temperatures. Couplers can be fabricated with custom fiber lengths or with terminations of any type.
