COMMUNICATIONS COMPONENTS
Fused Coupler, 980 nm
Key Features
• Ultra low pump loss
• Minimum wastage of pump power
• High EDFA output power
• Wide range of regular parts available
• Proven reliability
Applications
• EDFA pump redundancy and sharing
• EDFA pump monitoring
• Fiber lasers
The JDSU fused coupler, 980 nm, enables the accurate splitting and monitoring of
pump power in erbium doped fiber amplifiers. JDSU proprietary manufacturing
technology provides uniquely low excess loss, along with low polarization and
temperature dependence for all ports.
These high performance regular parts are available in a wide variety of tap ratios,
housing and connector options and can therefore be readily specified in a wide
variety of applications, enabling rapid design cycles and new project builds.
Standard variants for 960 nm and 1060 nm may also be selected.
Reliability is assured through qualification to Telcordia GR-1221, with a field
proven FIT rate of <1.

1. For wavelengths within ±5 nm to the operating wavelength range, the worst-case changes in insertion loss and WDL are shown as follows:
tap ratio=1%, maximum insertion loss and WDL increase=0.65 dB
tap ratio=5%, maximum insertion loss and WDL increase=0.50 dB
tap ratio=10%, maximum insertion loss and WDL increase=0.40 dB
tap ratio=50%, maximum insertion loss and WDL increase=0.20 dB.
