PLC Splitter - Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter
A PLC splitter is an integrated waveguide optical power splitter based on a quartz substrate. It features compact size, wide operating wavelength range, high reliability, and excellent splitting uniformity. It is particularly suitable for Passive Optical Networks (EPON, GPON, etc.) to connect central office equipment with terminal devices and enable optical signal splitting. Currently, 1×N and 2×N splitters evenly distribute optical signals from one or two input ports to multiple output ports, or conversely, combine multiple signals into one or two fibers.。
