Manual Polarization
Controller, FPC - 2, FPC - 3
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
