Product Overview
The Agiltron Variable Fiber Optical Splitter/Coupler is an advanced electro-optical device designed to split an incoming optical signal into two output fibers with a continuously adjustable ratio. Available in 1x2 and 2x2 configurations, and supporting Single-Mode (SM) and Polarization-Maintaining (PM) fibers, this component offers high reliability and fast response times. The device operates bidirectionally and maintains its ratio when the control signal is removed. Its solid-state crystal design ensures long-term operation, meeting demanding reliability standards.

- Available in 1x2 and 2x2 configurations.
- Supports SM and PM fiber types across various wavelengths.
- High reliability and fast response time.
- Suitable for instrumentation, power balancing, and sensor applications.
- Precision versions with output power stabilization are available.
Technical Specifications Summary
The datasheet details specifications including central wavelength, insertion loss across different wavelength bands, cross-talk ratios, splitting variation, response time, and operating temperature ranges. It also provides information on electrical power consumption and optical power handling capabilities for regular and high-power applications.
Ordering Information
A comprehensive ordering guide is provided, allowing customization based on product type, wavelength, driver frequency, configuration, fiber type, fiber cover, fiber length, and connector type. Detailed part numbers are listed for various driver configurations, including 20 kHz, 100 kHz, and specialized drivers.
Important Considerations
Users are advised to ensure proper fiber core alignment for optimal performance, especially at shorter wavelengths.
