Frequently Asked Questions

A polarization insensitive isolator is an optical component designed to allow light to pass through in one direction while blocking it in the opposite direction, regardless of the polarization state of the light. It achieves this by utilizing Faraday rotation, which rotates the polarization plane of the light passing through it, making it immune to changes in polarization.

The MPI series isolators offer several key benefits, including compact design, low insertion loss, high isolation, high return loss, excellent environmental stability, and versatility. These features make them ideal for space-constrained applications and demanding optical setups.

Yes, the MPI series isolators are available in various center wavelengths, including 1310 nm, 1480 nm, and 1550 nm, to accommodate different optical system requirements and specifications.

Single-stage isolators provide isolation between two ports, while dual-stage isolators offer additional isolation between two other ports. Dual-stage isolators are typically used in applications where higher isolation levels are required or in complex optical setups.
