Fiber optical couplers are used to both split and combine optical signals in optical fibers. As passive optical components, they are often used in data transmission.
The optical frequency multiplexing method, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), splits the wavelengths in such a way that each spectral color has its own transmission channel.
Active fiber-optical components are available for multi-mode and single-mode fibers.
Attenuators are used to reduce the power of signals when the receiver is near the sender or the signal being sent is too strong, either of which would result in the receiver being overloaded.
The LiNbO3-based modulators offered by LASER COMPONENTS are suitable for applications with a high optical bandwidth and high data transfer rates in optical networks.
