PBS (Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter)
The Micro Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter (Micro PBS) is a device designed to divide a laser beam into two distinct polarization beams. Typically employed in fiber optic communication systems, the Micro PBS serves as a fundamental element in various applications, including polarization management, polarization beam combining, and optical interleaving.
Key Characteristics
- Minimal Polarization Dependent Loss
- Low Insertion Loss
- Reduced Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)
- Exceptional Environmental Stability
Applications
The Micro PBS has several valuable applications in the field of optics and photonics. Here are some of its key applications:
- Optical Interleaving
- Raman Amplification
- Circulation Control
- Fiber Optic Sensors
- Quantum Optics Experiments
- Biomedical Imaging
- Optical Isolation
- Fiber Optic Gyroscopes
