What is Optical Fiber Splitter?
I. Definition and working principle of optical fiber splitter
Definition: Optical fiber splitter is a device that can redistribute the optical signal in one optical fiber to different optical fibers. It can split the input optical signal into two or more outputs to achieve the distribution and branching of optical signals.
Working principle: The working principle of optical fiber splitter is based on the interference effect of light and waveguide structure. When the optical signal enters the optical fiber splitter, interference will occur in the waveguide structure to form output beams in different directions. Through precise design and optimization, different proportions of optical power splitting can be achieved, such as 1:2, 1:4, etc.

II. Structure and characteristics of optical fiber splitter
Structure: Optical fiber splitter is generally composed of input optical fiber, output optical fiber and optical components. Optical components usually include reflectors, lenses and gratings, which work together to split the optical signal in the input optical fiber into signals in multiple output optical fibers.
Features:
High precision: Optical fiber splitter can achieve high-precision optical power splitting to ensure the stability and consistency of the output signal.
Low loss: With advanced manufacturing processes and materials, the optical fiber splitter has low additional loss during signal distribution and maintains high signal quality.
