-Polarization Maintaining Circulator-

Fiber Optic Circulator is a non-reciprocal device that transmits incoming light from port to port in one direction. This polarization maintaining (PM) device provides low insertion loss, high power, high isolation, high return loss, excellent environmental stability and polarization preservation. This device is avaliable for operating wavelengths of 1064nm and 1550nm in WDM systems, optical amplifiers and sensor applications.
