Integrated wdm/splitter multiplexer module

摘要

An integrated WDM/splitter multiplexer module for integrating optical signals operating to transport point-to-multipoint information signals with optical signals operating to transport point-to-point information signals. The module is comprised of a splitter component which is operable to condition the point-to-multipoint optical signals that it receives onto a plurality of waveguides organized as a first ribbon fiber. A WDM array component is spliced to the first ribbon fiber by a first ribbon splicer. A fiber bank sources the point-to-point optical signals onto a second ribbon fiber. The second ribbon fiber is also spliced onto the WDM array by a second ribbon splicer.
