C Polarization-Maintaining Laser

Connectorization

The DFB-LD integrated in the IQS-2400 WDM Laser Source comes with a
polarization-maintaining pigtail. The slow propagation axis of this pigtail
has been aligned in order to be parallel to the linear state of
polarization (SOP) of the laser. Once connectorized and mounted on the
IQS-2400 WDM Laser Source front panel, the slow propagation axis will be
aligned with the FC key of the EUI (FC) connector on the inside.

Depending on the type of connector you have on the IQS-2400 WDM Laser
Source front panel, the slow propagation axis will either be horizontal or
vertical.
