Simultaneously detecting the powers of two orthogonal polarization components is important for many sensor and measurement applications.
A pigtailed polarization beam splitter coupled with two photodetectors can be used for such applications; however, this arrangement is bulky, troublesome to
handle, and costly. By integrating polarization-splitting components with photodetectors, General Photonics created this compact device, which can be easily mounted onto a circuit board for customer applications. This Polarization Diversity Detector (PDD) features :
· high detection sensitivity,
· high extinction ratio,
· high reliability,
· small size,
· and low cost.
Once again, General Photonics leads the pack in providing solutions to customers’ needs.
