1. Basic Concepts of Polarization-Maintaining Splitter
Polarization-maintaining splitter is an optical component widely used in optical communication systems. It can distribute the input optical signal to two output ports in a certain proportion and keep the polarization state of the optical fiber unchanged. At the same time, the polarization-maintaining splitter can also realize the transmission and isolation of wavelengths, and is one of the indispensable components in the optical network.
2. The meaning of dual-axis operation of Polarization-Maintaining Splitter
Polarization-maintaining splitter requires dual-axis operation, which means that it needs to maintain the stability of the polarization state and transmission direction of the optical fiber at the same time during operation. Specifically, the polarization-maintaining splitter needs to be adjusted in two axial directions to complete the dual-axis operation. The optical path structure of the polarization-maintaining splitter is to output the linearly polarized light at the input end in the Y-branch splitter along a specific direction and then output it in two output ports. Therefore, the polarization-maintaining splitter has two operating axes, which need to be adjusted for these two axes.
3. Application of dual-axis operation of Polarization-Maintaining Splitter
The dual-axis operation of the polarization-maintaining splitter can effectively maintain the stability and polarization state of the signal, thereby enhancing the transmission quality and reliability of the signal. Specifically, dual-axis operation helps to ensure the polarization stability of optical signals in optical communication systems, improve network performance, and increase the transmission efficiency of optical signals. At the same time, dual-axis operation can also promote the continuous innovation and development of optical communication technology.
In summary, the requirement of dual-axis operation for polarization-maintaining splitters means that they need to maintain the stability of the polarization state and transmission direction of the optical fiber at the same time during operation. Dual-axis operation can effectively ensure the transmission quality and reliability of optical signals, and is one of the indispensable technical means in optical communication systems.
