1950nm Faraday Mirror

Name: 1950nm Faraday Mirror
Brand: DK Photonics
Availability: InStock

Description

The 1950nm Faraday Mirror is a sophisticated optical component designed to manage polarization in fiber optic systems. It operates by rotating the polarization plane of light passing through it, offering precise 45° or 90° polarization rotation. This passive device is critical for systems that demand high polarization stability, such as fiber optic networks, fiber lasers, and high-performance measurement instruments. Its epoxy-free optical path ensures low insertion loss, high return loss, and robust temperature stability. Designed for use in demanding environments, it ensures long-term reliability and minimal signal degradation in fiber optic systems.

Applications include eliminating polarization induced fluctuations in fiber interferometers, Brillouin amplifier systems, fiber laser systems, and fiber optic antenna remoting systems. Our Faraday Mirror is optical path epoxy free and thus offers low insertion loss and high temperature stability.
