Description

The Ascentta 3-Port Polarization-Maintaining Optical Circulator (TGG Type) is engineered to provide precise unidirectional signal routing while preserving polarization integrity across a range of wavelengths from 532 nm to 1060 nm. Designed for high-performance optical systems, this circulator is optimized for demanding applications where signal isolation, minimal insertion loss, and excellent extinction ratios are critical.

Supporting a variety of wavelength options including 532, 635, 650, 780, 850, 980, 1030, and 1060 nm, this device ensures efficient light transmission from Port 1 to Port 2, and from Port 2 to Port 3. It features high isolation (up to 27 dB), low insertion loss (as low as 1.5 dB), and high extinction ratios (up to 20 dB), making it ideal for use in polarization-sensitive systems. With robust optical power handling (up to 250 mW), and compatibility with various fiber types and connectors, it supports custom configurations to suit diverse application environments.

Compact and thermally stable, the circulator is housed in a cylindrical package, making it an ideal fit for integration into space-constrained optical setups.
