The polarization beam combiner is a compact, high-performance micro-optic
based polarization maintaining component. It normally functions as a combiner
that combines two orthogonal polarized optical signals into one output fiber. The
polarization beam combiner has a high extinction ratio with low excess loss over
a wide operating temperature and wavelength range. The polarization beam
combiner can also be used as beam splitter.
