3dB Coupler Performance Metrics

The document reports on the test results of two 3dB fiber optic couplers (A and B) produced by FiberLabs Inc. It provides data on the insertion loss, return loss, and crosstalk of the couplers over a wavelength range of 1440-1640nm. The insertion losses for both couplers are below 3.9dB across the full wavelength range. Return losses are above 3.41dB and 3.51dB for couplers A and B respectively at 1550nm.
