Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 1064nm TGG Based Optical Circulator?
A 1064nm TGG Based Optical Circulator is a high-performance fiber optic device that directs light signals from one port to another in a specific sequence (Port 1 to Port 2, and Port 2 to Port 3). It uses Terbium Gallium Garnet (TGG) as the core material, offering low insertion loss, high isolation, and excellent temperature stability, making it ideal for fiber laser, amplifier, and instrumentation applications.
What are the main applications of the DK Photonics 1064nm Optical Circulator?
The DK Photonics 1064nm Optical Circulator is commonly used in fiber optic amplifiers, pump laser sources, fiber optic sensors, test and measurement setups, and various instrumentation systems. Its high reliability and performance make it suitable for demanding environments in research, industrial, and telecom sectors.
What are the key features of the DK Photonics 1064nm TGG Based Optical Circulator?
Key features include low insertion loss, high isolation, availability in both polarization-maintaining (PM) and non-PM versions, customizable fiber types, high reliability, and excellent temperature stability. The circulator also supports high power handling and low polarization dependent loss (PDL).
Can the DK Photonics 1064nm Optical Circulator be customized?
Yes, DK Photonics offers customization for their 1064nm Optical Circulator. Customers can request specific fiber types, different wavelengths, power handling capabilities, connector types, and fiber pigtail lengths. For custom requirements, it is recommended to provide detailed specifications when inquiring.
How does the DK Photonics 1064nm Optical Circulator handle high power applications?
For high power applications, DK Photonics recommends using direct fiber splicing instead of connectors, as connectors are only suitable for low power performance testing (up to 2W). Direct splicing ensures better power handling and reliability in high power setups.
What is the difference between PM and non-PM versions of the circulator?
PM (Polarization Maintaining) versions preserve the polarization state of the light passing through, which is crucial for certain applications like coherent communications and high-precision measurements. Non-PM versions do not maintain polarization but are suitable for general-purpose use where polarization is not critical.
How do I order or request a quote for a custom DK Photonics 1064nm Optical Circulator?
To order or request a quote, provide the correct part number (P/N) according to DK Photonics' ordering information, along with a detailed description of your requirements. If you need custom specifications, such as different fiber types, wavelengths, or power handling, include those details in your inquiry.
