AFL Product Profile Polarization Beam Combiners FEATURES & BENEFITS * High-power handling resulting from all-fiber design * Low insertion loss * High extinction ratio * Compact design * Customized center wavelength PRODUCT APPLICATION * Laser pump combining for EDFAs * Laser pump combining for Raman amplifiers * Interferometers * R&D and lab experiments AFL's new all-fiber 980nm, 1480nm, and Raman PBC's bring new levels of high-power handling capability. Continuous improvement in the gain spectra of optical amplification is critical to support the ever-increasing channel counts and bit rates of DWDM telecommunications systems. The PBC is a highly reliable2, low insertion loss, all-fiber component designed for use in EDFAs and Raman amplifiers. New, Raman amplifiers have emerged to complement EDFA designs for long-haul signal transport. Raman amplifier designs require several high-powered pump lasers to be combined, necessitating a combiner that can able handle the total power. High pump power levels are handled by the all-fiber design and available wavelengths incorporate 980nm, 1480nm, and Raman pump lasers. The center wavelength of AFL's PBC can be customized to meet your design needs. 2.
