The 1064 nm Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter is a compact, high performance lightwave component that combines two orthogonal polarization signals into one output fiber. The most common application is to combine the light of two pump lasers into one single fiber by doubling pump power. The typical configuration uses two PM fibers as input and SM fiber as output. The device can also be used as a beam splitter.
The (6+1)×1 High Power Combiner with ClearCut Fiber Bragg Grating enables highly efficient combining of the powers from up to 6 multimode pump diodes into an FBG with low insertion loss for high power fiber lasers. With AFR's ClearCut design and packaging, the devices can handle 3 kW pump power and 3 kW signal power.
The High Power N × 1 Laser Combiner is designed for combining the power from N units of kW class fiber laser with high efficiency. The laser combiner is available for different fiber types.
AFR 1 × 2 PM MEMS Optical Switch is based on an electrostatic drived micro-electro-mechanical-system (MEMS) chip. The MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator chip consists of a tilting mirror to change light coupling between input and output fibers. The components are characterized with low insertion loss, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and reliability. The optical switch has been widely used in fiber optics communication equipment, fiber instruments, fiber sensing to switch channels.
The In-Line Polarizer is designed to pass light with one specific polarization while blocking the other polarization. It can be used to convert unpolarized light into polarized light with high extinction ratio. It can also be used to enhance the extinction ratio of signals with its excellent polarization properties. It is ideal for high speed communication systems and test instrumentations where high polarization extinction ratio is required.
