Integration of fiber optic components into an all-fiber optical system allows the optical path to remain closed, eliminating the risk of contamination with dust or organic materials that may reduce lifetime and power handling. The use of fusion splicing to mate components simplifies alignment and reduces loss by eliminating air-to-glass interfaces. Optical efficiency is also improved through the use of fused fiber components, which use coupling between fused, tapered fiber cores rather than optical mirrors to achieve very precise beam combining and splitting. We have been developing and refining our proprietary processes in the fusion and tapering process since 1985. We offer a suite of single-mode and polarization-maintaining fiber components, from wavelength splitters and combiners to attenuators, taps, and Wavelength Division Multiplexers (WDMs). G&H is a well-established provider of fused fiber couplers in land-based and undersea telecommunications systems, due to our ability to provide Our active components include fiber-coupled pump lasers, DFB lasers and modules, high speed detectors, and acousto-optic modulators. G&H single-mode and multi-mode pump lasers are known for their high power output, low noise, and ruggedized design, and have been deployed in aerospace and space mission applications. Our expertise in hermetic sealing and packaging and sub-micron alignment of active fiber optic components for extreme environments ensures rock-solid optical performance. Our DFB lasers deliver highly precise tunable output in 7-pin and 14-pin configurations, with optional TEC cooling. Our photodetectors allow accurate monitoring of power levels in all-fiber systems with >20 GHz bandwidth from 1280-1620 nm. The Fiber-Q™ series of high extinction ratio, low loss fiber optic modulators complete our line of high performance, rugged fiber optic components. Our plug-and-play high reliability fiber amplifiers feature aerospace-ready designs at a variety of integration levels. These can be tailored for applications in satellite laser communications, optical inter-satellite links, and deep space probes. Fiber optic modules designed by G&H offer drop-in manufacturing solutions. Module manufacturing is supported a vertically integrated supply chain of fiber optic components and expert design engineering services. We develop custom modules for biomedical instrumentation, fiber laser systems, LIDAR, sensing, interferometry, and telecommunications.
