Frequently Asked Questions

The primary application of the GKER Singlemode Broadband Coupler is for precise power splitting and signal monitoring in optical communication systems, testing instruments, fiber sensors, and fiber amplifiers.

The coupler supports a wavelength range of 850 nm to 1310 nm, with a typical tolerance of ±100 nm, ensuring versatility in various optical applications.

The GK-SBC Series offers coupling ratios from 50/50 to 1/99, with accurate and uniform performance. Custom ratios are also available upon request.

The typical insertion loss is 0.25 dB for a 1×2 configuration and 0.15 dB for a 2×2 configuration, ensuring efficient signal transmission.

The coupler operates reliably in temperatures ranging from -5°C to +70°C and can be stored between -40°C and +85°C. It has a low thermal sensitivity of ≤0.002 dB/°C.

The coupler can handle up to 300 mW of continuous wave optical power, making it suitable for high-power applications. Note that for connectors, the maximum optical power is limited to 1 W, and for visible wavelengths, it is 50 mW.

The coupler uses HI 780CHI, 1060 Flex, and SMF-28 fibers for the signal port. The tap port can use either PM fiber or singlemode fiber, depending on the application requirements.

Yes, the coupler can be customized with different wavelengths, coupling ratios, fiber types, connector types, and fiber lengths to meet specific application requirements.
