Optics
Low Power Rotators and Isolators
Protect seed sources from the deleterious effects of back reflections in the 1050 nm to 1080 nm (Nd laser) wavelength range.
Power hungry applications for Nd-based lasers often use seeded amplifiers and master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) architectures. These rotators and isolators ensure maximum performance and seed laser protection.
Low Power Rotators and Isolators - Key Parameters
Choice of dichroic glass polarizers for lower costs or beam splitter cubes for higher damage resistance. Combine two isolators in series for >60 dB isolation.
