The
Isolator+Polarization Beam Combiner/Splitter (IPBC/S) 1310&1550nm 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.
