Technical Datasheet Note
For devices with connectors, power handling is limited to 1W; IL is 0.3 dB higher, RL is 5 dB lower, ER is 2 dB lower. Default connector key is aligned to the slow axis.
Configuration and ordering notes

Passband width and out-of-band rejection are reviewed against the signal spectrum and filtering requirement.

Selection Guidance: Compare TFF vs FBT multiplexing and ASE suppression in our WDM & Optical Filters for EDFA Guide ↗ or PM WDM Selection Guide ↗.

Key Applications

Fiber optical lasers; Optical test instruments; Fiber sensors; Erbium-doped optical fiber amplifiers (EDFA).
