Planar lightwave circuit (PLCs) are devices integrated with fiber-matched silica waveguides on silicon or glass substrate to ensure optimal interaction for guided-wave optical signals. PLC is a recently developed technology wherein waveguides are fabricated using lithography and a silica glass substrate. PLC splitters regulate the power of optical signals via splitting and routing to facilitate the delivery of reliable light distribution. These have a broader operating wavelength range, i.e., 1260-1650 nm as compared to low-cost fused biconical tapered (FBT) couplers. These splitters exhibit characteristics such as comprehensive temperature range, improved uniformity, enhanced reliability, and compact dimensions. . These are known to offer accurate and uniform splits with minimum loss of power during transmission. In addition, these are widely used in PON networks to facilitate optical signal power splitting.
