Frequently Asked Questions

What is a polarization maintaining PM fiber optic patch cord used for?
A polarization maintaining PM fiber optic patch cord is used to transmit linearly polarized light while maintaining the state of polarization. It is commonly used in coherent optical communications, EDFAs, fiber optic switching, integrated optics, high-speed transmission systems, external modulators, interferometric sensors, and other polarization-sensitive photonic applications.
What wavelengths are supported by the TARLUZ polarization maintaining patch cord?
The TARLUZ PM patch cord is available for multiple alignment wavelengths, including 375 nm, 405 nm, 460 nm, 630 nm, 780 nm, 980 nm, 1064 nm, 1300 nm, 1550 nm, and 2000 nm. Depending on the selected fiber, wavelength ranges extend from 350–460 nm up to 1850–2200 nm.
What connector types are available for this PM fiber patch cable?
This polarization maintaining patch cable can be supplied with FC, SC, and LC connectors as standard. The datasheet also indicates availability with other connector styles such as ST, MU, MPO, and MTP upon request. FC connectors can be configured with either narrow key or wide key options.
What is the insertion loss and extinction ratio of the PM patch cord?
Insertion loss depends on wavelength. Typical insertion loss ranges from 0.3 dB at 1300 nm, 1550 nm, and 2000 nm to about 1.2 dB at shorter visible wavelengths. Maximum insertion loss ranges from 0.5 dB to 1.5 dB. The extinction ratio is wavelength dependent, with typical values from 17 dB at 375 nm and 405 nm up to 25 dB at 1300 nm, 1550 nm, and 2000 nm.
Can the PM fiber axis be aligned to the connector key?
Yes. By default, the slow axis of the PM panda fiber is aligned to the connector key. The fast axis can also be aligned to the connector key upon request, which is important for compatibility with lasers, modulators, interferometers, and other polarization-sensitive components.
What is the difference between UPC and APC polishing for this PM patch cord?
UPC and APC refer to connector end-face polishing styles. UPC connectors provide a typical return loss of 50 dB, while APC connectors provide a higher typical return loss of 60 dB. APC polishing is often preferred in applications requiring lower back reflection, such as high-performance communication systems, coherent optics, and sensitive laser setups.
What cable and fiber options are available for the polarization maintaining patch cord?
The PM patch cord can be supplied using PM panda fiber from manufacturers such as Nufern, Corning, Fujikura, YOFC, or a specified equivalent.
