All-Fiber Polarization Scanner-Controller

_FEATURES _APPLICATIONS
____ All-fiber ____ Polarization control
____ Simple current control ____ State of polarization scanning
____ Full cycle of Poincare sphere ____ Component testing
____ Low insertion loss ____ Sensor systems
____ High return loss ____ Optical fiber polarimetry

Phoenix Photonics state of polarization (SOP) scanner utilizes three variable all-fiber waveplates to provide full coverage of the Poincare sphere enabling conversion of any input SOP to any required output SOP. Designed to allow continuous variation of the output SOP the device can also be used for polarization control either within a feedback circuit or in open loop configuration.

2.
Devices will operate over full wavelength range, higher current is required at longer wavelengths to achieve switching.
Losses do not include connectors.
