Polarization independent polarizer PS-700

Details

FiberControl’s polarization-independent polarization state scrambler, PS-700, provides
high speed scrambling of optical signals with low insertion loss and is independent of the
input state-of-polarization. This robust all fiber design provides a wide optical bandwidth,
and enables the use of high signal powers, thereby making it suitable for DWDM
applications.
Our unique RF-modulated format provides near pseudo-random scrambling as indicated by
the broad RF electrical spectral response, unlike other scramblers, whose spectral response
reveals well-defined resonances. The high-speed scrambling provides coverage over a
large portion of the Poincaré sphere. Fully Patented.

Features:

◆Polarization independent

◆Broad optical bandwidth

◆High optical power throughput

◆Low back-reflection, low insertion loss

◆Connectorized or fiber input/output

◆Instant on (no warm-up)

◆Wide temperature range

Applications:

◆Component level PDL measurements

◆Sub-system PDL testing

◆Reduce polarization-dependent effects within EDFA optical transmission systems(PDG, PDL)

◆Reduce PDL in test-bed measurements of third-party optical equipment
