High-Speed 1x4 PM Fiber Optical Splitter/Coupler/Combiner

SKU: NSSP

The NS Series 1×4 solid-state fiber-optic splitter splits the optical power among four outputs with any power splitting ratio. The input is polarization maintaining (PM) fiber and the outputs are four single mode or PM fibers. This is achieved using patent pending non-mechanical configurations with solid-state all-crystal designs, which eliminates the need for mechanical movement and organic materials, offering the ultra-long lifetime. The NS fiber-optic switch is designed to meet the most demanding switching requirements of fast response time, and continuous switching operation. The switch is bidirectional.
The device is fully bidirectional and works in reverse as a variable optical power combiner. When you send light into Ports 2 and 3 simultaneously, adjusting the control voltage 0-5V directly controls what percentage of light from each port is routed into Port 1. At 0 V Control Signal 100% of the light from Port 2 is transmitted to Port 1. At 5 V Control Signal 100% of the light from Port 3 is transmitted to Port 1. At Intermediate Voltages (e.g., 50/50 setting): You get a 50/50 mix of the optical signals from both inputs exiting Port 1.
