The Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter is a compact high performance lightwave component that combines two orthogonal polarization signals into one output fiber.
The most common application is to combine the light of two pump lasers into a single fiber to double the pump power to an Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) or a
Raman Amplifier. The typical configuration uses two PM fibers for the input and the SM fiber for the output.
The device can also be used as a beam splitter with SM/PM input fiber, depending on applications.
Partially multimode(MM) fiber pigtailed versions available for some special applications; Customized hybrid tapped & isolated PBS/PBC modules may be designed per requirements.
