The 980/1550nm and 980/1590nm fused wdm coupler are very important WDM device, which form integral parts of an EDFA (erbium-doped fiber amplifier). In an EDFA device, the pump laser light and signal light at these two wavelengths are multiplexed within the amplifying (erbium-doped) fiber. On the other hand, if these two lights are injected into the same input port, they would separate out at the two output ports. It features low Insertion loss, low PDL, high stability and reliability.
