Planar Lightwave Circuit Splitter Market Overview:
The Global Planar lightwave circuit splitter market is expected to reach $1,352.70 million by 2023, registering a CAGR of 7.8% from 2017 to 2023.
Planar lightwave circuit (PLC) splitters regulate the power of optical signals via splitting and routing, delivering reliable light distribution. They have a broader operating wavelength range, i.e. 1260-1650 nm as compared to low-cost fused biconic-tapered (FBT) couplers. The planar lightwave circuit splitter offers a comprehensive temperature range, improved uniformity, enhanced reliability, and a smaller size. PLC is a recent technology where waveguides are fabricated using lithography and a silica glass substrate. These splitters are known to offer accurate and even splits with minimum loss. It is widely used in PON networks to realize optical signal power splitting.
The developments in the fiber optics field have transformed the ways of transmitting data over long distances with minimum loss and are immune to electromagnetic inferences. Such favorable characteristics are expected to further enhance the market in the future. Innovations and technological advancements have resulted in overall cost reduction and consumer awareness, which in turn are expected to drive the industry growth over the forecast period. The increase in e-business activities by various business organizations is a reason for to increase in the demand for internet speed, which drives the demand for effective optical networks. Rising demand for 5G/4G networks globally is expected to augment the industry over the forecast period. However, the manufacturing process is complex and more expensive for engaging in smaller ratios. PLC splitters are expected to explore opportunities in surveillance, standard telephone cables, and sensor application segments
