Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 1064nm High Power In-line Optical Isolator?
A 1064nm High Power In-line Optical Isolator is an optical device designed to allow light to pass in only one direction, preventing back reflections and feedback into the laser source. It is optimized for high power applications at the 1064nm wavelength, commonly used in fiber laser systems, amplifiers, and instrumentation.
What are the key features of the DK Photonics 1064nm High Power In-line Optical Isolator?
The DK Photonics 1064nm High Power In-line Optical Isolator offers low insertion loss, high isolation, high power handling (customizable up to 50W), excellent temperature stability, high reliability, and options for both polarization-maintaining (PM) and non-PM fibers. Custom fiber types and power handling levels are also available.
What applications are suitable for the 1064nm High Power In-line Optical Isolator?
This optical isolator is ideal for high power fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers, laboratory research, instrumentation, and test and measurement setups. It is particularly useful in environments where preventing back reflections and feedback is critical for system stability and performance.
Can the DK Photonics 1064nm High Power In-line Optical Isolator be customized?
Yes, DK Photonics offers customization for fiber type, power handling (CW or pulsed operation up to 50W), connector options, and even different wavelengths. Customers can request custom specifications to meet their specific application requirements.
What is the difference between PM and non-PM types in this optical isolator?
PM (Polarization Maintaining) isolators preserve the polarization state of light, making them suitable for applications where polarization control is critical. Non-PM isolators do not maintain polarization and are used in systems where polarization is not a concern. Both types are available for the DK Photonics 1064nm isolator.
How does adding connectors affect the performance of the optical isolator?
Adding connectors to the isolator increases insertion loss by 0.3 dB, reduces return loss by 5 dB, and decreases extinction ratio by 2 dB for PM types. Additionally, the maximum pass optical power is limited to 2W when connectors are used; higher power applications require direct fiber splicing.
How do I select the correct part number or request a quote for a custom isolator?
To select the correct part number or request a quote, provide DK Photonics with your required specifications, including fiber type, power handling, wavelength, and any special requirements. If you need a custom solution, contact their sales team directly with your application details for a tailored recommendation.
