Description
1850nm 3-port Polarization Insensitive Optical Circulator
1850nm 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 Quantum Communication, Fiber Laser and Coherent Detecting field. If need higher power version please tell us to confirm.
