Fused Coupler, PM Combiner (PDF, 0.10 MB)
The JDSU Fused Coupler, PM Combiner enables the efficient combination of two orthogonally polarized sources of light at the same wavelength such that they are output through the same, single fiber output. In optical amplifiers this provides a doubling of pump power whilst ensuring pump redundancy should a pump failure occur. Applications include high power optical amplifiers and undersea systems. All ports consist of polarization maintaining fiber.
