Single Mode Couplers are used to distribute optical signals between fibers. We offer various types of single mode coupler including standard couplers, polarization independent couplers, wavelength independent couplers and wavelength flattenend couplers. These couplers are highly stable. They have low insertion loss, low polarization sensitivity and excellent uniformity.
