Fiber Control Industries Resonant-Coil
Polarization Scrambler converts highly polarized light into light with a
scrambled polarization by rapidly modulating the state-of-polarization —
creating a time-varying birefringence within the fiber.
Typical function generators (± 10
Volts, Z0 = 50 ) provide adequate power for
operation near 600 kHz. Optional integrated booster amplifiers extend the
range of modulation frequencies up to 1 MHz.
Features:
- User friendly bench
top unit
- Fully licensed
- Broad range of
modulation frequencies
- Connectorized
input/output
- Low back-reflection
- Low insertion loss
Applications:
- Reduce the effect of
of PDL of measurements within optical test-sets
- Reduce polarization-dependent
effects within EDFA based optical transmission systems
Specifications: (optical, line power,
