Verrillon-AOFR Announces the Release of High Performance Polarization Maintaining Couplers.CANBERRA, Australia -- AOFR AOFR Assumption of Financial Responsibility , an established leading fused fiber component manufacturer and supplier announces the release and availability of a range of polarization polarization Property of certain types of electromagnetic radiation in which the direction and magnitude of the vibrating electric field are related in a specified way. maintaining (PM) couplers specifically designed for Military, Telecommunications and Industrial OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) The rebranding of equipment and selling it. The term initially referred to the company that made the products (the "original" manufacturer), but eventually became widely used to refer to the organization that buys the products and users. PM couplers are designed to maintain the state of polarization after splitting or combining light from polarization maintaining fiber. AOFR's unique polarization maintaining fiber fusing and packaging processes produce PM components with high polarization extinction and low loss using a variety of PM fiber structures and operating wavelengths. The control and flexibility of AOFR's PM manufacturing process using common PM fiber structures, such as elliptical el·lip·tic or el·lip·ti·cal adj. 1. Of, relating to, or having the shape of an ellipse. 2. Containing or characterized by ellipsis. 3. a. stress or Panda fibers, gives polarization extinction ratios In telecommunications, extinction ratio ( r e ) is the ratio of two optical power levels, of a digital signal generated by an optical source, e.g., a laser diode, where P 1 typically >25dB with excess losses <0.3dB in a sub-30mm package. PM couplers and taps using fiber with reduced cladding The plastic or glass sheath that is fused to and surrounds the core of an optical fiber. The cladding's mirror-like coating keeps the light waves reflected inside the core. The cladding is covered with a protective outer jacket. See fiber optics glossary. diameters of 65(micron micron: see micrometer. One micrometer, which is one millionth of a meter or approximately 1/25,000 of an inch. The tiny elements that make up a transistor on a chip are measured in micrometers and nanometers. See process technology. ) and 80(micron) are available for applications requiring tight fiber coils such as Gyroscopes as well as standard 125(micron) cladding for the Telecommunications and Industrial markets. Wavelength-flattened versions with <1% coupling ratio variation over an extended wavelength range are also offered. In many cases, these all-fiber components can replace thin film polarization devices to give a highly reliable, lower cost alternative. "Considerable development effort also has been put into maintaining the high performance of our PM product range over extended environmental conditions including shock, vibration and operating temperatures from -55 degrees C to 85 degrees C," said Dr. Peter Jacob, Managing Director of AOFR. "These are key differentiators in the real world applications of these products."
