Product Capabilities and Value
At WaveSplitter, we understand the need for high-quality single- and dual-mode couplers. Our patented WaveProcessor Interleaver
products require fused couplers with good uniformity and low excess
loss over a very wide wavelength range. And now the same couplers that
we use in our products are also available in our WaveEssentials product
line. Our broadband couplers offer a bandwidth of 80 nm in either the
1310 and/or 1550 nm window, wide enough for just about any application.
Standard coupling ratios from 1:99 to 50:50 are also available in
either a 1x2 or 2x2 design. In addition, WaveSplitter can package the
couplers in standard LGX boxes or other custom packaging designs.
Finally, to meet the growing market needs, we've designed our
manufacturing capacity to allow high volume production while
maintaining good performance and repeatability. This translates into
quick delivery at a good value, whether you need 100 or 10,000 units.
