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. |
