Abstract

In electrical circuits, passive components refer to resistors, capacitors, and inductors; elements that overall consume power. On the other hand, active components deliver power to a system. In fiber optic systems, passive components typically refer to those that are not involved in opto-electric conversion, i.e., they neither generate nor detect light. Instead they are involved in guiding or manipulating the light without adding energy to it.
