Polarization & Phase Control

Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter

Our PB Series Polarization Beam Combiners/Splitters are designed to combine two polarized light signals into a single output or split one light signal into two polarized outputs. We offer both fused and micro-optic platforms, each with distinct advantages. The fused combiners are cost-effective, low-loss, high-power, and compact. In contrast, the micro-optic combiners provide a higher extinction ratio and improved temperature stability and are compatible with all types of fibers, including hollow-core photonic fibers. Regular couplers incur significant losses when combining light. For instance, a 50/50 coupler results in a 50% loss for each beam when combined.
