Certified Polarization-Maintaining Fiber Optic OS2
Polarization-maintaining fibers work by intentionally introducing a systematic linear in the fiber, so that there are two well defined polarization modes which propagate along the fiber with very distinct phase velocities. The beat length Lb of such a fiber (for a particular wavelength) is the distance (typically a few millimeters) over which the wave in one mode will experience an additional delay of one wavelength compared to the other polarization mode. These cables are available from stock and feature a high-quality polish, which leads to a typical return loss of 50 dB. Hybrid terminated connectors enable users to adapt FC/PC or FC/APC patchcords for compatibility with existing fiber assemblies. DIAMOND has developed and perfected the necessary technologies to preserve and control the polarization state of a light signal as it propagates through polarization-maintaining (PM) and polarizing (PZ) optical fibers. They feature high extinction ratios, precise axis alignment, and compatibility with LC, SC, and FC connectors.
