The Helica In-Fiber Polarizer Patch Cable (Helica IFPPC) is an all-glass, flexible polarizer for the most discriminating end users requiring the best polarization extinction ratio (PER) available. These high extinction ratio patch cables are available over a broad spectral range. They polarize, rather than simply maintain, the polarization of the input light. The polarized light is scattered rather than absorbed, making this polarizer uniquely suitable for high power applications.
IFPPCs are connectorized on both ends with high quality and robust FC/UPC, FC/APC, LC/UPC or LC/APC connectors. These are all manufactured to the strictest standards and tested to insure high extinction ratio and low insertion losses.
