Description
1480nm 3-port Polarization Insensitive Optical Circulator
1480nm 3-port Polarization Insensitive Optical Circulator is a fiber passive component built with faraday crystal, which can change signal light transmission path, the signal can be delivered from Port 1 to Port 2, the other signal light from Port 2 to Port 3, the high isolation can block the back reflection light. It’s widely used in WDM System, Fiber Optic Sensor and Coherent Detecting field. High Power type is available upon request.
