High-Power PM Fiber Optic Circulator, 1053 – 1075 nm, No Connectors
Overview
The OC-L-1064 is a high-power polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber optic circulator designed for operation within the 1053 nm to 1075 nm wavelength range. As a non-reciprocal optical device, it allows light to travel in only one direction through the ports, where light entering port 1 exits at port 2, and light entering port 2 exits at port 3. This specific model is supplied without connectors, allowing for custom integration into fiber-based optical systems.
Key Features
- Polarization-Maintaining Design: The circulator is built to maintain the polarization state of input light, ensuring that the polarization extinction ratio remains stable throughout signal transmission.
- High-Power Handling Capability: Engineered to manage higher optical power levels, this device is suitable for applications involving high-intensity laser sources within the 1053 – 1075 nm range.
- Three-Port Non-Reciprocal Configuration: The device utilizes a three-port layout to route optical signals sequentially, which prevents back-reflections from reaching the laser source.
- Connectorless Fiber Interface: By shipping without connectors, the device provides flexibility for users to perform fusion splicing, reducing insertion loss and back-reflection at the fiber interface.
