PLC optical splitters, also known as planar waveguide optical splitters, are passive devices with multiple input and output ports that can evenly distribute one or two input optical signals to two or more output ports. Planar Lightwave Circuit (PLC) utilizes semiconductor processes such as photolithography, etching, and deposition to create optical paths on substrates, enabling the propagation of optical signals. A typical optical waveguide structure consists of three parts: a high-refractive-index core, a. PLC (Planer Lightwave Circuit) is one of key devices to realize the Internet. PLC implement pathes for optical communication on silicon or quartz substrate.
