488nm Polarization maintaining (PM) optical patch cords are widely used in polarization sensitive fiber optical systems for transmission of light that requires the PM state to be maintained.
Polarization Maintaining Patch-cord (Polarization Maintaining jumper) have orthogonal “slow” and “fast” axes with different propagation constants. There is little coupling between the polarization modes, therefore, light launched on one axis would propagate on that axis. It features high extinction ratio as a result of very accurate active alignment between PM Major Axis and the connector key.
We provide PM patch cords at different wavelengths (from 350nm to 2100nm). Those patch cords are made using best-known PM optical fibers (such as Fujikura PM Fibers or Nufern PM Fibers) and first-class quality optical fiber connectors. Our PM patch cord features high extinction ratio, low insertion loss, high return loss and long term reliability. Various PM fiber and connectors are available.
If you do not see a standard polarization maintaining patch cords that meets your needs, we welcome the opportunity to review your desired specification and quote a custom polarization maintaining patch cords.DK Photonics can respond to custom requirements with short lead times.
