Fiber couplers are essential parts of many fiber-optic systems. The term PM coupler has two separate meanings: It could be a device that has one or more input fibers and one or more output fibers. The power distribution of light from an input fiber can occur at one or more outputs, depending on the wavelength
Optical splitters are optical passive components that act as integrated waveguide optical power distribution devices in optical network topologies. Their primary function is to split an incident light beam into two or more light beams and vice-versa. Hence, they contain multiple input and output ports. These days, optical splitters are playing an important role in
High-power fiber lasers are having a huge momentum right now as their demand has increased dramatically. They are revolutionizing the industrial material processing markets by offering the best combination of performance, cost-effectiveness, and reliability. High-power fiber laser systems range from 1 to hundreds of kW average power and are typically used in industrial manufacturing environments.
In general, there are two types of isolators, namely, optical isolators and electrical isolators. Both of them are different devices and have entirely different uses and applications. People who hear about the optical isolator for the first time confuse them with electrical isolators and think that they have the same purpose and functioning. So, in
Optical pumping refers to the phenomenon that involves exciting a medium or light electronically or populating specific electronic levels. Thus, when a medium is optically pumped, it means light is injected to electronically excite the medium or some of its energy levels. In the case of laser amplifiers, the primary goal of optical pumping is
Pump combiners are used for fiber lasers, fiber amplifiers, high-power EDFA (erbium-doped fiber amplifiers), sensor systems, etc. They are passive components used in power systems that are combined to produce high power output for the delivery/pump fibers. It also increases the efficiency of the power system. The technique used in the construction of a pump
