Product catalog summary
Overview
LEONI's FiberSplit® product family provides advanced light distribution solutions for optical systems, primarily used in telecommunications, sensor technology, and laser systems. These products utilize planar waveguide technology for high performance and long-term stability.
Applications
FiberSplit® splitters are used in passive optical distribution networks, measuring systems, laser applications, sensor technology, and optical signal processing.
Product Portfolio
The splitters are manufactured using ion-exchange in glass, offering low-loss, broadband performance across telecommunications wavelengths. They are available in configurations from 1×2 to 1×64, with options for custom designs.
Key Features
  • Very low insertion loss and high uniformity
  • High extinction rate and low polarization-dependent loss (PDL)
  • Wide bandwidth (780 nm – 1060 nm or 1260 nm – 1650 nm)
  • Rugged metal housing and customizable fiber assemblies
  • Tested for long-term stability according to Telcordia standards
Technical Specifications
LEONI's splitters feature a compact design and robust performance, supporting a wide range of wavelengths and various connector types. They operate in temperatures from -40°C to +85°C.
Performance Metrics
  • Max. insertion loss varies by splitter type, e.g., 3.9 dB for 1×2, 20.4 dB for 1×64
  • Max. uniformity ranges from 0.5 dB to 1.8 dB
  • Return loss and directivity are ≥ 55 dB
  • Polarization-dependent loss is ≤ 0.15 dB
Conclusion
LEONI's FiberSplit® series offers a comprehensive range of optical splitters designed for high performance and reliability in demanding environments, suitable for various applications in telecommunications and sensor technology.

FiberSplit' 4 Light Distribution for Optical Systems Description The new multimode splitter series is based on planar integrated waveguides which are produced by means of ion exchange in glass. The splitters are monolithically integrated on glass chips using lithographic structuring techniques. Thereby they are compact, robust and long-term stable and offer an extremely broad-banded uniform distribution. The development and in-house manufacturing of planar multimode components is customer-specific. Waveguide-diameters from 50 pm up to 200 pm and NA from 0.2 up to 0.4 are possible. The number...
