Spliceless coupler arrays are based on the Model 954P fixed ratio PM coupler. Couplers are cascaded together without splices to create the desired configuration.
Standard configurations include:
1x3, 2x4, 2x5, 2x6, 4x4, 2x8, all are available with input tap couplers, see schematic examples here
Other devices, such as the 968P polarization splitter and 915B/916B piezo-electric fiber stretchers, can be integrated with coupler arrays to form advanced communications systems and fiber interferometers. Examples include polarization diversity receivers and resonant rings.
Pigtail lengths up to 20m, with 900um OD or 3mm OD sleeving
Wavelengths from 488nm to 1550nm
