COMMUNICATIONS COMPONENTS Polarization Beam Combiners PBC Series Key Features • Very low insertion loss • Broadband (±30 nm) • Low wavelength dependent loss • Low temperature dependent loss • High power handling Applications • Raman amplifiers • High power EDFA • Optical transmission systems • Test and measurement The polarization beam combiner is a compact, high-performance micro-optic based polarization maintaining component. It normally functions as a combiner that combines two orthogonal polarized optical signals into one output fiber. The polarization beam combiner has a high extinction ratio with low excess loss over a wide operating temperature and wavelength range. The polarization beam combiner can also be used as beam splitter.
