1310/1480/1550nm Mini Polarization Insensitive Isolator (MPI Series)
Description
The GKER Photonics Mini Polarization Insensitive Isolator (GK-MPI Series) is a compact, high-performance optical component designed for space-constrained applications in fiber optic systems. This isolator is engineered to block back-reflected light while maintaining stable performance across all polarization states. With options for both single and dual stage configurations, it delivers low insertion loss, high isolation, and high return loss, ensuring optimal signal integrity.
Built using SMF-28 fiber and housed in a miniature package (as small as Ø3.8 × 22 mm), the GK-MPI Series is ideal for dense photonic circuits and portable optical devices. It operates reliably in harsh environments with an operating temperature range from -5°C to +70°C and storage capabilities from -40°C to +85°C. The isolator also supports continuous optical power levels up to 300 mW, meeting the demands of high-power systems.
Engineered for versatility and reliability, the GK-MPI Series is particularly suitable for integration into fiber amplifiers, optical transceivers, test instruments, and sensor systems where polarization insensitivity, small footprint, and environmental stability are essential.

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.
