Single
A single branch shutter is opened to output laser light only to a single optical ber.
Laser light is reected on the beamsplitter
and transferred from opened branch shutter 1.
2-powersharing/3-powersharing
Laser light is split according to the number of built-in branch shutters and then
simultaneously output. At 2-powersharing, two branch shutters are opened and laser
light is split into 2 beams, and then simultaneously output.
At 3-powersharing, three branch shutters are opened and laser light is split into 3
beams, and then simultaneously output.
2-powersharing 3-powersharing
2-timesharing/3-timesharing
One optionally selected out of the built-in branch shutters is opened to output laser
light. For example, when branch shutter 2 is opened, laser light is output to the
optical fiber connected to input unit 2. If an operation is performed to open two
branch shutters or more, the branch shutter with a smaller No. has priority because
two or more branch shutters are not opened.
