An optical splitter is commonly employed in the ODN to enable multiple end-users to share a single PON interface. For point-to-multipoint FTTH network deployments, the distribution section can be categorized into centralized (single-stage) or cascaded (multi-stage) splitter . In the backbone of modern Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) networks, optical splitters serve as the unsung heroes that enable cost-efficient connectivity for millions of subscribers. By dividing a single optical signal from a central Optical Line Terminal (OLT) into multiple outputs for Optical Network. Fiber optic splitter, also referred to as optical splitter, fiber splitter or beam splitter, is an integrated waveguide optical power distribution device that can split an incident light beam into two or more light beams, and vice versa, containing multiple input and output ends. Rarely, there can be two inputs to provide potential redundancy of route.
