The Role of Low-Power Optical Splitters

Home / The Role of Low-Power Optical Splitters

By dividing a single optical signal from a central Optical Line Terminal (OLT) into multiple outputs for Optical Network Terminals (ONTs) at users' homes, splitters eliminate the need for dedicated fibers to each residence—slashing infrastructure costs while scaling network reach. To address the demand for low-cost, low-loss, and environmentally friendly optical power dividers in short-range visible light communication (VLC) systems, a low-loss 1 × 2 Y-branch optical splitter based on the integration of a planar optical waveguide (POW) and plastic optical fiber (POF) is. 1Department of Electrical Engineering, Pohang University of Science and Technology, Pohang 37673, Republic of Korea 2Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ajou University, 206 Worldcup-ro, Youngtong-gu, Suwon 16499, Republic of Korea. Splitters are passive optical devices that divide or combine optical signals, and they come in various types, including power splitters, uneven splitters, and wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) splitters. Each type serves specific applications, enabling efficient use of optical infrastructure.
