Amplitude modulator extinction ratio
The extinction ratio of an amplitude modulator is the ratio between the optical power at maximum and minimum transmission. Conoptics offers three types of crystals for use in the UV, V, NIR and IR. In fiber-optic communication, designers and system engineers confront many performance metrics—optical power, extinction ratio, receiver sensitivity, jitter, etc. Among them, Optical Modulation Amplitude (OMA) is a central figure of merit for digital (on-off) modulation schemes.

Extinction ratio of polarization-maintaining fiber length
The polarization extinction ratio (PER), also called polarization cross talk, in polarization-maintaining (PM) fiber-based devices is a key parameter. If you subject the fiber to high mechanical stress and small-diameter bends, then it is possible to disrupt the internal. PER is a parameter used to describe certain polarisation effects in optical fibres and components for optical fibre communication systems. The fiber cables made by Schäfter+Kirchhoff typically have a polarization extinction ≥ 200:1 (23 dB) or ≥ 400:1 (26 dB) for λ ≥ 780 nm (except for fibers end caps).

Classification of Polarization Maintaining Fibers
Polarization-maintaining fibers work by intentionally introducing a systematic linear in the fiber, so that there are two well defined polarization modes which propagate along the fiber with very distinct phase velocities. The beat length Lb of such a fiber (for a particular wavelength) is the distance (typically a few millimeters) over which the wave in one mode will experience an additional delay of one wavelength compared to the other polarization mode. Thus a length Lb /2 of such fiber is equivalent to a Categories of Polarization Maintaining Fibers There are many types of polarization maintaining fibers, which can be divided into high birefringence optical fibers (birefringence coefficient B~10 -4) and low birefringence optical fibers (B~10 -7; B~10 -9) according to the size. The laser beam coupler couples the radiation into PM fibers with high coupling efficiency.
