Fiber Optic Isolator
VO11 7-23
Nanovation’s Fiber Optic Isolator transmits the light in one direction, but
blocks the reflected light in the reverse direction. The Bellcore GR-1209-CORE-
compliant product offers low insertion loss, high optical isolation and excellent
environmental stability. Nanovation’s Fiber Optic Isolators are available as
polarization dependent and independent, depending on the application.
