LLightwaves2020's Unidirectional Miniature Optical Power Monitor (UOPM) integrates the functionalities of a tap coupler, an isolator and a PD. It is the smallest
device of its type on the market. Its integrated design reduces the number of parts to handle, minimizes fiber splicing, improves fiber routing and saves board
space. This UOPM offers excellent performance, including high isolation, low dark current, low insertion loss, low wavelength dependent loss, low polarization dependent loss and low polarization dependent responsivity. As with all Lightwaves2020 products, this UOPM conforms to Telcordia requirements. Lightwaves2020's UOPM simplifies the design of optical amplifier and WDM systems. It offers a more compact and cost-effective solution for unidirectionalpower monitoring in optical networks than discrete components.
