This interactive tutorial explores transmission and reflection of a light beam by three common beamsplitter designs. A beamsplitter is a common optical component that partially transmits and partially reflects an incident light beam, usually in unequal proportions. For example, it can split a single fiber into two pieces, each with its own connector. Regardless of the type of device, it can help technicians create. Clearfield® provides Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) and Fused Bicon-ic Taper (FBT) Splitters in a variety of optical component packages for the network and application need allowing carriers the ability to provide uniform fully passive signal splitting to multiple premises.
