Key Features:

Applications include high power optical amplifiers and undersea systems. All ports consist of polarisation maintaining fibre.

In optical amplifiers this provides a doubling of pump power whilst ensuring pump redundancy should a pump failure occur.

The G&H PM Combiner enables the efficient combination of two orthogonally polarised sources of light such that they are output through the same, single fibre output.
