Optical insertion loss refers to the signal loss resulting from the insertion of components such as connectors or splices in an optical fiber system. Minimizing insertion loss from the optical splitter is crucial for conserving the power budget of a PON system. Every time you double the ports, you double the signal paths — and the theoretical loss grows by about 3 dB. Enter the number of outputs and the excess loss from your splitter datasheet to see the total. The elements of the beam splitter transformation matrix B are determined using the assumption that the beamsplitter is lossless. While a beamsplitter is never lossless, it is a good approximation for most applications.
