Hi,
We have different types of splitter out of these i am trying to sxpalin two types of splitters.
Their advantage and disadvantage:
PLC – Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter
Advantages
Suitable for multiple operating wavelengths (1260nm – 1650nm); unstinted.
Equal splitter ratios for all branches.
Compact configuration; smaller size; small occupation space.
Good stability across all ratios.
High quality; low failure rate.
Disadvantages
Complicated production process.
Costlier than the FBT splitter in the smaller ratios.
FBT – Fused Biconical Splitter
Advantages
The product is well-known and is easy to produce, thus reducing cost of production.
Splitter ratios can be customized.
Can work on three different operating bands (850nm, 131 Onm, and 1550nm).
Disadvantages
Restricted to its operating wavelength.
Because of errors in equality insertion loss, the maximum insertion loss will vary depending on the split and increase substantially for those splits over 1:8.
Because an exact equal ratio cannot be ensured, transmission distance can be affected.
Thanks,
