  • The Function of Optical Couplers in Electronic Components

    The Function of Optical Couplers in Electronic Components

    An optocoupler is a coupling device used to couple optical signals. Image alt: Optocoupler-Optical couplerA coupler in electronics is a component that transfers a signal or power from one circuit to another while keeping the circuits electrically separated. This isolation prevents unwanted current from flowing between stages, protects sensitive components from high voltages, and preserves signal. Optical fiber coupler (Coupler), also known as splitter (Splitter), connector, adapter, flange, is an electrical-optical-electrical conversion device that transmits electrical signals with light as a medium, and is used to realize optical signal split/combination. In this guide, you'll learn how they work and how you can use one in your own projects. It explains the differences between mechanical and fusion splices, types of connectors (including SC and LC), and various couplers and splitters used to direct.
