Isolators & Circulators
The OC Series 1310/1550 PM Optical Circulator is a non-reciprocal device that maintains polarization while redirecting light at 1310/1550 nm from port-to-port in only one direction, minimizing back reflection and back scattering in the reverse direction. Employing our advanced micro optics design, it features low insertion loss, high extinction ratio, high isolation, compact package, and high stability. The excellent characteristics of this product make it an ideal choice for application in fiber amplifier systems, pump lasers, and optical fiber sensors.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
PM Fiber Optical Circulator 1310nm & 1550nm: Laser source protection depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1310, 1550, C band, L Band, C+L wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (PM1550, PM980, Panda 80) must match the connected components.
PM Fiber Optical Circulator 1310nm & 1550nm: Bidirectional signal routing depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1310, 1550, C band, L Band, C+L wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (PM1550, PM980, Panda 80) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
Fiber: PM1550, PM980, Panda 80 · Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900um loose tube, 250um. Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Wavelength: 1310, 1550, C band, L Band, C+L. Check the Isolators & Circulators passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
