Dual Window Coupler (DWC)

Dual window coupler (DWC) is built by asymmetric coupling technique. The operating bandwidth of this normal coupler is expanding to ±40nm, and the ultra broadband coupler is expanding to ±80nm. The DWC coupler has the same coupling ratio on both 1310nm and 1550nm communication windows, and with low excess loss and low PDL. DWC couplers are widely used for communication systems, CATV, and FTTH.

Features Applications
  • Low excess loss
  • Low PDL
  • Three operating windows
  • High stability and reliability
  • Optical communication systems
  • CATV
  • FTTH

  1. Above specification are for device without connector, and may change without notice. All parameters are tested at room temperature.
  2. Other specifications can be made on customer request.
  3. For devices with connectors, IL will be 0.3dB higher, RL will be 5dB lower. The pass optical power is 2 W only for connector added.
  4. If there is pulse application, please be sure to inform us of pulse energy and peak power.
  5. Insertion Loss around 1383nm (water peak) is counted in the specifications above.

When you inquire, please provide the correct P/N number according to our ordering information, and attach the appropriate description would be better. If need any connector, we do not recommend choosing a 250μm bare fiber pigtail. For mini size coupler, typical applications are bare fibers without connector.
