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 while blocking any reflected light from returning to the source. This prevents feedback that can damage sensitive laser components or disrupt system performance, making it essential for high power fiber lasers, amplifiers, and related applications.
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 power handling (customizable up to 50W), high isolation, high reliability, excellent temperature stability, and options for both polarization-maintaining (PM) and non-PM fibers. Custom fiber types and configurations are also available.
What applications are suitable for this high power optical isolator?
This isolator is ideal for high power fiber lasers, high power fiber amplifiers, instrumentation, test and measurement setups, and fiber amplifier laboratory research. Its ability to handle high power and prevent back-reflection makes it suitable for demanding photonics and laser systems.
Can the DK Photonics 1064nm isolator be customized for specific requirements?
Yes, DK Photonics offers customization for fiber type, power handling (5W, 10W, 20W, 30W, 50W), wavelength, and package configuration. Customers can request custom fiber pigtails, different wavelengths, or other specific needs to match their application requirements.
What is the difference between PM and non-PM types of this isolator?
PM (Polarization Maintaining) isolators preserve the polarization state of the transmitted light, which is crucial for applications requiring stable polarization, such as in coherent communication or certain laser systems. Non-PM isolators do not maintain polarization and are suitable for general applications where polarization is not critical.
How does connectorization affect the performance of the isolator?
Adding connectors increases insertion loss by 0.3 dB, decreases return loss by 5 dB, and reduces extinction ratio by 2 dB for PM types. Additionally, the maximum pass optical power is limited to 2W with connectors, so for higher power applications, fiber splicing is recommended.
How do I order or request a quote for a custom 1064nm high power optical isolator?
To order or request a quote, provide the correct part number (P/N) and specify your requirements such as fiber type, power handling, wavelength, and any special configuration. You can contact DK Photonics via their website, email (sales@dkphotonics.com), or phone for further assistance.
