DIAMOND PM (polarisation maintaining) connectors and their termination process are designed to cover all requirements and characteristics of polarisation maintaining (PM) and polarising fibres (PZ). Diamond provides high performance PM terminations directly to both passive and active optical devices as well as for pigtails and patchcords assemblies.
Diamond have developed a sophisticated termination process for a range of PM connectors and the connector key may be aligned to the fast or the slow axis depending on customers specifications.By utilizing a computer assisted optical workbench both polarisation axes (fast or slow) can be perfectly aligned with the connector key, resulting in a higher extinction ration(ER).
The unique ferrule technology of the Diamond connectors means that, in addition to consistent low insertions losses, stresses on the fibre are prevented and all the polarization features of the fibre are preserved.
FC, DIN, E-2000, AVIM, DIN LSA, Mini AVIM, DMI and SC connectors are regularly fitted to PM fibre and other connectors are available on request.
Diamond’s standard assemblies are made with Panda PM fibre for use at both 1310nm and 1550nm and are available in both PC and APC finishes. However we can also test at 1050nm, 980nm, 800nm, 680nm & 635nm.
All standard assemblies are 100% tested for Insertion Loss, Return Loss and Extinction Ratio. Other fibre types such as Bow Tie, Oval inner clad, Oval Core, D-Fibre, connector styles, and wavelengths requirements can be accommodated to meet your specific application needs.
