Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Optical Circulator

Name: Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Optical Circulator
Brand: Lfiber Optic Limited
Availability: InStock

Description

LFIBER's polarization maintaining optical circulator with high extinction ratio is a passive component based on the Faraday effect, transmitting light signals from one port to the next sequential port with low loss, but at the same time blocking any light transmission to the previous port.

By using polarization maintaining fiber (PMF), it is able to maintain the same state of polarization (SOP) of the light signals. The 3-port polarization maintaining optical circulator (high extinction ratio) can work on both slow-axis and fast-axis linear polarizations, or just transmit one principal polarization state in only one direction and block the orthogonal state in both directions.
