General Optics
C-Polarizer
Build circulators, data terminal equipment (DTE), data communications equipment (DCE), interleavers, and other optical datacom/telecom components with these optics.
Coherent C-polarizers combine a birefringent YVO4 beam displacer and a λ/2 waveplate to provide a compact, monolithic way of separating or combining polarization-multiplexed optical signals with high polarization purity in an epoxy-free optical path.
