PM Circulator

PM Circulator is an optical device used to achieve unidirectional transmission of optical signals in fiber optic systems while maintaining the polarization state of the optical signal. PM Circulator is based on magneto-optical effect and waveguide technology, and usually consists of a polarization-maintaining optical fiber and magneto-optical materials. It has three ports called input port, output port and reflection port. The input optical signal enters the PM Circulator through the input port, and then is transmitted and coupled between different ports.

In the PM Circulator, the transmission path of the optical signal is one-way, that is, from the input port to the output port, and the reflection port is used to guide the reflected optical signal to another direction to avoid the backflow of the optical signal. At the same time, the PM Circulator can maintain the polarization state of the optical signal, that is, the polarization state of the input optical signal does not change during the transmission process.

– Optical fiber communication system: Can be used for optical signal distribution, routing and maintaining polarization state in optical fiber communication systems. It can guide optical signals from one input fiber to multiple output fibers and maintain the polarization state of the optical signals to ensure the stability and performance of the fiber optic system.

-Fiber optic sensing system: PM Circulator can be used in fiber optic sensing applications, such as fiber optic gyroscopes, fiber optic sensing networks, etc. It can guide the optical signal from the optical fiber sensor to the detection equipment or data acquisition system, and maintain the polarization state of the optical signal to achieve accurate optical fiber sensing and measurement.

-Fiber Raman amplifier: It can be used in fiber Raman amplifiers to guide the transmission and coupling of input optical signals and Raman scattered optical signals, while maintaining the polarization state of the optical signal and improving the performance and efficiency of the amplifier.

(1) Polarization maintenance: This product can maintain the polarization state of the optical signal, that is, the polarization direction of the input optical signal does not change during the transmission process. This is very important for applications that need to maintain polarization consistency of optical signals, such as fiber optic sensing, fiber optic communications, etc.

(2) One-way transmission: This product realizes one-way transmission of optical signals, that is, the transmission path of optical signals from the input port to the output port is one-way. This ensures that the optical signal does not flow back, avoiding interference and loss.

(3) Low insertion loss: This product has low insertion loss, that is, the optical power lost during the transmission of optical signals from the input port to the output port is very small. This is very important for applications requiring high transmission efficiency and signal quality.

(4) High isolation: This product can provide high isolation, that is, effective isolation of optical signals between different ports. This means that the optical signal from the input port will not be transmitted reversely to other ports, ensuring the purity and reliability of the optical signal.

(5) Wide wavelength range: This product usually has a wide wavelength range and can adapt to the transmission of optical signals of different wavelengths. This makes it flexible and applicable in a variety of fiber optic applications.

(6) High stability: This product is precisely designed, uses high-quality materials and manufacturing processes, and has good stability and reliability. It can provide stable performance under various environmental conditions and ensure long-term reliable operation.
