The JDSU polarization-insensitive fiberoptic circulator is a compact, patented, high-performance lightwave component that routes incoming signals from Port 1 to Port 2, and incoming Port 2 signals to Port 3. This component provides high isolation, very low insertion loss, low polarization dependent loss (PDL), low polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and excellent environmental stability.

Key Features

• Very low insertion loss
• Broadband
• Low wavelength dependent loss
• Low temperature dependent loss
• High-power handling capability and reliability
• High isolation
• Compact cylindrical package
• Excellent environment stability

Applications

• Fiber amplifier systems
• Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) add/drop
• WDM networks
• Bidirectional transmission systems
• Optical time domain reflectometer
• (OTDR) and sensing systems
