Optical Power Monitor with Integrated Tap Coupler

The optical power monitor with integrated tap coupler is an integrated device that combines a tap coupler and a pigtailed photodetector together. It provides an easy way to monitor the power in the optical link. It can be simply connected or spliced into the fiber link where the optical power or the signal is to be measured.

Features:

• Integrated, low loss device
• Broad spectrum bandwidth
• Compact design
• Customized tap ratio avaiable

Applications:

• Channel monitoring in fiber communication systems
• Power monitoring in optical interface modules
• Gain monitoring in optical amplifiers
