High Power Polarization Insensitive Isolator (GK-HI Series)

The 980 nm High Power Polarization Insensitive Isolator is a specialized optical component designed to manage high power light signals at a wavelength of 980 nm without being affected by the polarization state of the light. This feature makes it particularly useful in applications where high power and stable operation are critical, regardless of the polarization of the input light. Here's a summary of its key features and their benefits:

Low Insertion Loss: This feature ensures that the power of the light signal is minimally reduced when it passes through the isolator. Low insertion loss is essential for maintaining signal strength, especially in high power applications where signal integrity is critical.

High Isolation: The isolator allows light to pass in one direction while blocking it in the reverse direction. High isolation is crucial for preventing back-reflected light from reaching the light source, which can cause instability or damage in sensitive optical systems.

High Power Handling: The device is designed to handle high power levels without performance degradation. This is particularly important for applications such as fiber lasers, where high power outputs are common.

High Return Loss: A high return loss indicates that the isolator reflects back any light that is not transmitted with minimal power. This helps to reduce reflections and ghosting in the optical system, which can cause interference and reduce signal quality.

Excellent Environmental Stability: The isolator maintains its performance parameters under varying environmental conditions, such as temperature fluctuations. This stability is vital for reliable operation in diverse settings, including outdoor or uncontrolled environments.

Reliability: The isolator is designed to be durable and consistent, ensuring long-term performance without failure. This is crucial for applications where downtime can be costly or where the system must operate continuously without interruption.

Polarization Insensitivity: Unlike some other isolators that are designed for specific polarization states, this isolator performs well regardless of the polarization of the input light. This feature makes it more flexible and suitable for a wider range of applications.
