Product data sheet (pdf)

 

 

Fiber Control's polarization controller's unique user-friendly design utilizes stress - induced birefringence to alter and control the state-of-polarization of light in single-mode fibers. Each paddle acts as a fractional waveplate. Complete coverage of the Poincaré sphere and polarization is provided by adjusting the angles of the paddles.

The multiple channel diameters were designed to maximize end-user flexibility over a variety of wavelengths and applications. Originally patented at Stanford University by Hervé C. Lefèvre.

 

Features:

  • Easy top-down fiber loading with paddles in locked horizontal position
  • FPC - 2 accommodates both 900µm buffer and 250µm bare fiber
  • FPC - 3 accommodates 3mm cabled fiber
  • Multidirectional placement on optical table with 1/4" x 20 or M6 screws
  • Smooth adjustable rotation
  • Inserts quickly into fiber-based systems without splicing
