AFL delivers SC and FC

style jumpers with the

optical polarization control

of PANDA® fiber.

Advances in telecommunications technology have lead

to a demand for polarization control in optical signal

processing. Increases in transmission speed to OC-192

and beyond require external modulators that commonly

utilize anisotropic materials, such as lithium niobate.

These materials are sensitive to the polarization state of

incoming optical signals as effective modulation is only

achieved by modulation on one birefringent axis. Fujikura

PANDA® fiber is recognized worldwide as the industry

standard for polarization maintaining applications.

AFL has the capability to custom design a variety of

packages to meet your telecommunications needs.
