  Planar light wave circuit splitter splits the optical power uniformly over the entire single-mode operating window. Planar light wave circuit splitter or PLC splitter is designed based on silica glass waveguide process that offers solutions such as distribution of low cost light having high reliability and low form factor. Fiber optic splitters were earlier designed on the basis of fused biconical taper, however the PLC splitters are the device that are fabricated using technologies such as silica glass substrate and the lithography. Splitters are an essential component of Passive Optical Network systems (PON). Planer light wave circuit splitter are installed in every optical network in between the PON optical line network (OLT) and the optical network terminals (ONT) that is served by the OLT. The most commonly used splitters includes 1xN and 2xN. N indicates the output port number. Due to such type of 1xN and 2xN configurations, it is possible to deploy point to multipoint phy...
