Description
The Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter from GKER Photonics is a high-performance optical component designed for combining or splitting orthogonal polarization signals. This compact device excels in integrating two orthogonal polarization signals into a single output fiber, making it ideal for applications where combining light from multiple sources is necessary.
In the realm of optical amplification, this component is commonly used to merge the outputs of two pump lasers into one fiber, effectively doubling the pump power for devices like Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) or Raman Amplifiers. Beyond amplification, it serves as a versatile beam splitter, separating combined light into distinct paths.
The GK-PBC/PBS Series is characterized by its low insertion loss of 0.6 dB and its high extinction ratio of 20 dB, ensuring minimal signal degradation and high efficiency. The component operates efficiently across a wavelength range of 1064 nm and 1310 nm with ±50 nm tolerance, handling up to 300 mW of continuous wave optical power.
Constructed with PM Panda Fiber for Ports 1 & 2 and either SMF-28 or PM Panda Fiber for Port 3, this device is designed to withstand a maximum tensile load of 5 N and operates within a temperature range of -5°C to +70°C, with storage temperatures extending from -40°C to +85°C. The GK-PBC/PBS Series is available in various configurations, allowing for tailored solutions to meet specific application requirements.
