L Band Polarization Insensitive Isolator

L band Polarization Insensitive Isolator utilizes Faraday Effect of Magneto optical crystal. It guides optical light in one direction and eliminates back reflection and back scattering in the reverse direction at any polarization sate. It has been widely used in EDFAs, Raman amplifiers, DWDM systems, Fiber lasers, transmitters and other fiber optic communication equipments to suppress back reflection and back scattering.

Features

  • Low insertion loss
  • High isolation
  • Optical path epoxy free
  • Low PDL & PMD
  • High Reliability
  • Excellent Temperature Stability

Applications

  • WDM
  • Raman Amplifiers
  • Fiber Lasers
  • Transmitters

L band Polarization Insensitive Isolator utilizes Faraday Effect of Magneto optical crystal. It guides optical light in one direction and eliminates back reflection and back scattering in the reverse direction at any polarization sate. The unique manufacturing process and optical path epoxy-free design enhance the device's high-power handling capability. The devices are characterized with low insertion loss, high isolation, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and reliability and low cost. It has been widely used in EDFAs, Raman amplifiers, DWDM systems, Fiber lasers, transmitters and other fiber optic communication equipments to suppress back reflection and back scattering.

If you do not see a standard isolator that meets your needs, we welcome the opportunity to review your desired specification and quote a custom isolator. Requests for custom fiber pigtails, different wavelengths and handling power of operation or other specific needs will be readily addressed.
