Broadcast Star Coupler

Compatibility:

The role of a star coupler is to combine the optical signals entering from its multiple input ports and divide it equally among its output ports. Broadcast Star Couplers.osd show a star coupler with 8 input ports; each port has a transmitter working in different wavelengths.

The output of the star coupler can be visualized by attaching an OSA at any of the output ports (see Figure 2).
