The Dual Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter, 2 × 2 PBC/PBS, is a compact high performance lightwave component that combines or divides two orthogonal polarization signals into one or two output fibers. The most common applications are in polarization mode dispersion compensator, EDFA, Raman Amplifier, coherent telecommunication systems and fiber sensor. The Dual Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter is characterized with high extinction ratio and low insertion loss.
AFR's MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator 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, fast response and compact size. The MEMS Variable Optical Attenuator is widely uesd in WDM networks, power control or gain variation in EDFA.
AFR high bandwidth zero-chirp F10 modulators are based on the Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) architecture. They are manufactured using the highly reliable titanium indiffusion technology in X-Cut, Y-Propagating LiNbO3 substrates. The F10 is a single drive modulator designed for high bit rate advanced metro to long haul communication systems that requires the superior performance. The F10 modulator contains an integrated photo detector that may be used to set and lock the DC bias on the modulator as well as provide an estimate of the modulator output optical power.
The High Power Polarization Insensitive Isolator is characterized with low insertion loss, high isolation, high power handling, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and reliability. This fiber isolator is ideal for fiber lasers and instrumentation applications.
The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer series is designed and manufactured based on Telcordia standard. The devices use environmentally stable thin film filter and advanced packaging technology to achieve wide passband, low insertion loss, high channel isolation and excellent environmental stability. They can be used individually to perform single channel add or drop function or can be cascaded into sequence for multi-channel applications in CWDM systems.
