Polarization Diverse Receiver (PDR)
Our standard PDR variants cover 1060, 1310 and 1550nm wavelength ranges and are designed to support a broad range of potential applications.
Full Product DescriptionProduct description
The S and P states of polarization of the mixed-signal are analyzed with a pair of balanced detectors. Our PDR is housed in a compact, hermetically sealed, package with direct electrical connections to its four photodiodes.
A sample and reference signals are first split by a non-polarizing beam-splitter, followed by polarization state splitting by a polarizing beam-splitter. The resulting four channels (S+, S-, P+, and P-) allow polarization diverse detection with common-mode rejection.
