Frequently Asked Questions

The RC Fiber Polarization Insensitive Isolator (RCI Series) is a high-performance optical device designed to minimize back reflection and back scattering in fiber optic communication systems. It adheres to Telcordia standards and features a unique epoxy-free optical path, enhancing its high power handling capability and reliability.

This isolator is widely used in EDFAs (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers), DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) systems, optical sensors, compact optical circuits, and general fiber optic communication equipment.

Key features include compliance with Telcordia standards, high isolation performance, low insertion loss, polarization insensitivity, a compact and durable design, high return loss, a wide operating temperature range, and customizable options for fiber lengths and connector types.

An epoxy-free optical path significantly enhances the device's high power handling capability and long-term reliability by eliminating potential degradation caused by epoxy under high-power conditions.

Polarization insensitivity means that the isolator maintains consistent performance across all polarization states, making it easier to integrate into various optical systems without the need for polarization control.

The operating temperature range is from -5°C to +70°C, while the storage temperature range is from -40°C to +85°C, making it suitable for various environmental conditions.

The isolator is available in single and dual-stage configurations, with options for different grades (A Grade, Premium), fiber types (170 µm Bare Fiber, 900 µm Loose Tube, or custom specifications), and connector types (None or custom specifications).

The package dimensions are as follows: Diameter: Φ5.5 ± 0.1 mm, Length: 55 ± 1 mm, Height: 35 ± 1 mm.

The maximum optical power handling capability is 300 mW for continuous wave operations.

To order a customized version, you can specify the required stage (single or dual), wavelength, grade, connector type, fiber type, and fiber length using the ordering code format RCI-①-②②-③-④-⑤-⑥.
