There are applications like optical fiber communication networks, fiber optic instruments, and depression compression modules wherein it is vitally important to polarize the lights going in multiple directions into one single direction. Thanks to Insensitive Optical Circulator, it is now pretty possible to achieve the polarization of light into single direction.
Optical circulator is specially designed fiber optic device with an ability to separate optical power traveling in opposite directions in one optical fiber. The optical circulator can also be used to achieve bi-directional transmission over a single fiber. The high isolation between the input and reflected optical power and low insertion loss makes the circulator highly suitable for the use in advanced communication systems and fiber-optical sensor systems.
Besides being highly capable of controlling the light flowing into different directions and directing it into a single desired direction, the insensitive optical circulators have hosts of other qualities that make it much the best choice for fiber optic device. They are:
- Low insertion loss
- High isolation
- Ultra-low PDL and PMD
- Epoxy-free optical path
- Special operating wavelengths
The optic circulator provides high reliability and excellent optical performance. The device’s high isolation properties make it ideal for applications in telecommunications, fiber optic sensing, bio-medical, and photonics research.
The circulators com with different ports, for example three or four ports that cover standard wavelength rang. Also, it is possible to customize the wavelength according to different needs. For example, you can get circulators with wavelength ranges such as 1030nm, 1040nm, and 1050nm.
There are various brands making insensitive optical circulators. This means there are a wide range of makes of such optic devices available in the market. They all have features that almost identical but this does not mean they also have the same performance. The process they are built and quality of the material used is factors that play a vital role in the performance of an optic circulator. In addition, other things that should be considered before making the final buying decision are like:
- Rugged, compact design: Rugged, encased design utilizing bulkhead connectors rather than loose pigtails reduces the fragility of the fibers from tangle and handling.
- That is easy to install or mount: Choose the one that is easy to mount with optical cables. Four strong magnets hold the rugged package securely onto steel surfaces.
- Pigtail circulators for the applications that require a length of fiber on the input and output of the circulator.
- And the price of the circulator
