Single Channel Unidirectional Miniature Optical Power Monitor

Lightwaves2020's Unidirectional Miniature Optical Power Monitor (UOPM) integrates the functionalities of a tap coupler, an isolator and a PD. It is the smallest device of its type on the market. Its integrated design reduces the number of parts to handle, minimises fibre splicing, improves fibre routing and saves board space. This UOPM offers excellent performance, including high isolation, low dark current, low insertion loss, low wavelength dependent loss, low polarisation dependent loss and low polarisation dependent responsivity. As with all Lightwaves2020 products, this UOPM conforms to Telcordia requirements. Lightwaves2020's UOPM simplifies the design of optical amplifier and WDM systems. It offers a more compact and cost-effective solution for unidirectional power monitoring in optical networks than discrete components.
