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
