Variable Fiber Optical Splitter/Coupler/Combiner Array

SKU: NSVS

The Variable Fiber Optical Splitter splits an incoming optical signal among two output optical fibers with a continuously variable ratio controlled by a electrical input voltage from 0 to 5V. When the electrical control signal is removed, the splitter returns to a pre-determined ratio with a standard version of 100:0. The device is bidirectional, transmitting light in both direction simultaneously. The all-solid-state crystal design provides high reliability. The Variable Fiber Optic Splitter has passed Telcordia reliability qualification tests. It is designed to meet the most demanding requirements of ultra-high reliability, fast response time, and continuous operation.
The unit is mounted on a driving board having a control signal input SMA connector and a wall plug-in power supply. Available with several electronic driver having performance optimized for various repetition rate.
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.
