Gould offers a wide breadth of products consisting of: singlemode and multimode couplers/splitters, CWDMs, wavelength division multiplexers (WDMs), single and dual window couplers, DWDMs, tree and star couplers, attenuators, polarization maintaining couplers, interconnect devices, Fiber Bragg Grating packaging, planar waveguide technologies.
Gould couplers are manufactured using the fused biconical taper process(FBT). The process consists of placing two or more fibers adjacent to each other, then fusing and stetching them to create a central coupling region. Having perfected the FBT process over the years, Gould supplies superior components in both reliability and performance.
Also Gould Fiber Optics developed a GlasSolder® process (U.S Patent numbers 5,500,917 and 5,682,453) for making a glass-to-glass bond between optical fibers and a silica substrate. This bond is much stronger than epoxy and is not susceptibile to degradation from humidity.
Our planar components are manufactured fully in-house at our state-of-the-art ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility in Millersville, Maryland, through an ion exchange-based process providing superior dependability and great performance, thanks to an excellent coupling of ports into optical fibers by design. We also provide a full range of testing solutions to suit our customers' requirements. Notably each splitter comes with its very own specification sheet.
Gould products meets the requirements of RoHS compliance.
