Frequently Asked Questions

Fiber Optic Reflectors are used in fiber optic systems for reflecting light back into the reverse direction. They are commonly employed in interferometric sensors, circulators, return loss testing, and reference beam power measurements.

Fiber Optic Reflectors feature a wide range of available wavelengths, low insertion loss, compact housing, and are available in single-mode, polarization maintaining, and multimode versions.

Fiber Optic Reflectors are used in interferometric sensors, circulators, return loss testing, and reference beam power measurements.

Connector receptacle style reflectors come with a female connector receptacle to allow the fibers to be easily changed. Pigtail style reflectors come with a fiber of your choice permanently attached to the collimating lens. This type of reflector is recommended for optimum coupling efficiency and stability.

Reflectors are available for wavelengths from 400nm to 1600nm. Reflectors that operate at both 1300 and 1550nm are available, with only a slight difference in insertion losses at both wavelengths.
