Product Description:

OZ Optics’ miniature fiber optic beam splitters are used to split the light traveling through a fiber into two fibers, or to split or combine orthogonally polarized light into separate fibers. These splitters feature a rugged miniature housing to fit into compact spaces in equipment and systems. Light from a fiber is first collimated, then sent through a beamsplitting optic to divide it into two beams by either a fixed ratio or into two orthogonal polarizations. The resultant output beams are then coupled back into the output fibers. This flexible design allows one to manufacture splitters with different fiber types on the input and output ports.

Miniature inline splitters are sold in two different configurations - a polarization maintaining splitter, with a fixed splitting ratio, and a polarizing splitter, to split and combine orthogonal polarizations. Their operating principles are as follows:
