Polarization Components Selection Guide

Polarization in fiber optics is a very important characteristics that can be exploited or utilized in any fiber optic measurements or systems. Manual polarization controllers, in-line polarizers, and PM fiber couplers are essential components to consider with the purchase of polarization maintaining fiber and patch cords. Also consider the use of depolarizers, fiber optic isolators, and circulators to complete the setup.
