Polarization Beam Combiner (PBC Series)
The Polarization Beam Combiner is a compact high performance light wave 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 one single fiber to double the pump power in EDFA or Raman Amplifier.
