Product information "EPC-3000 OEM High-Speed Polarization Controller/Scrambler"
3 or 4 Control Channels; 1250-1650 nm, Other; Insertion Loss 0.05 dB; Polarization Dependent Loss <0.06 dB; Fiber Type SM, OtherOZ Optics' EPC-3000 high-speed electrically driven polarization controller provides a simple, efficient means to quickly manipulate the state of polarization within a single mode (SM) fiber. Employing a novel fiber squeezing technique, the device is controlled by either three or four (depending on the model) input voltages to provide endless polarization control and scrambling in a robust, easy to operate package.
The EPC-3000 controller's rapid response speed easily handles changes in polarization caused by the external environment and is highly suitable for polarization controlling and scrambling for either averaging PDL, PDG effects, or for making PMD, PDL or DOP measurements. Because the fiber within the device is continuous, all insertion losses, return losses, and PDL effects are limited only by the fiber itself. This makes the EPC-3000 ideal for precise test and measurement applications.
The polarization controller is available in either a three or four channel configuration. The three-channel system is ideal for polarization scrambling applications such as for polarization averaging, PDL or PDG measurements. The added redundancy of the four-channel version opens the way to continuous polarization control, without having to occasionally reset the device when a controller reaches its limit.
The innovative design of the OZ Optics EPC-3000 high-speed polarization controller provides an integrated module that allows users easily to implement the polarization controller in their systems with both analog and digital inputs.

PZ1 Fiber Stretchers
High Speed; Fiber Type SM, PM, RC; 780-1625 nm; Fiber Length 5-17 m; Fiber Stretch 0.035-0.21 µm/V; Fiber Leads 1 m, 0.9 mm OD Jacket; Connector Type Bare Fiber, FC/PC, FC/APC
The PZ1 series are the high-speed members of Optiphase’s family of fiber stretchers. At the core of the PZ1 high-speed fiber stretchers is a fiber wound piezoelectric element for use in a wide range of optical interferometric measurement and sensing system applications.
Optiphase’s expertise in the design, manufacture and use of all-fiber interferometers has produced a unique multi-layer winding approach resulting in an enhanced modulation function while maintaining a high operational frequency. PZ1 high-speed fiber stretchers are available with single mode (SM), commercial polarization maintaining (PM, Panda or Bowtie) or SM reduced cladding (RC) fiber types
PZ1 high-speed fiber stretchers deliver a high performance to cost ratio, exceeding all other known competitive devices. The compact and low-profile form factor makes the PZ1 series easily configurable into small spaces.
In addition, Optiphase fiber stretchers are unique in that they do not require proprietary drivers. For most low-voltage applications (<±15 V), Optiphase stretchers can be driven by standard electronics such as signal generators, op-amps or other laboratory equipment without modification. For more information on how to drive PZ1 high-speed fiber stretchers see the downloadable application note.

EPC Electrically Driven Fiber Polarization Controllers/Scramblers
3 Stage Scramblers or 4 Stage Controllers Available; 1250 to 1650 nm (Others on Request); Insertion Loss <0.4 dB; Polarization Dependent Loss <0.06 dB; Fiber Type SM
OZ Optics' EPC series of electrically driven polarization controllers provides a simple, efficient means to manipulate the state of polarization within a single mode (SM) fiber. Employing a novel mechanical fiber squeezing technique, the device is controlled by either three or four (depending on the model) input voltages that the user can vary over a ±5 V range to provide endless polarization control in a robust, easy to operate package. The EPC controllers’ rapid response speed easily handles changes in polarization caused by the external environment and is highly suitable for polarization scrambling for either averaging PDL effects or for making PMD or PDL measurements. Because the fiber within the device is continuous, all insertion losses, return losses, and PDL effects are limited only by the fiber itself. This makes it ideal for precise test and measurement applications. EPC polarization controllers are available in either a three or four channel configuration. The EPC-300 three-channel system is ideal for polarization scrambling applications such as for polarization averaging or PDL measurements. The added redundancy of the EPC-400 four-channel version opens the way to continuous polarization control, without having to occasionally reset the device when a controller reaches its limit. The unique design of the OZ Optics EPC series of polarization controllers means that they do not require any dedicated driver circuitry. There are no internal voltage multipliers or high voltage signals to worry about. Thus operation is safe and simple. Key Features:
Negligible Insertion Losses
Negligible Return Losses
Negligible Polarization Dependent Losses (PDL)
>100 Hz Response Speed
Continuous Polarization Control Capability

mVOA Variable Optical Attenuators
MEMS-based, Coaxial Style; Fiber Type SM (SMF28ultra, ZBL, SM600/850/980), PM (HP850/908PM); 650 to 1670 nm; Fiber Length 50 to 100 cm; Attenuation up to 30 dB, 40 dB
Sercalo Microtechnology’s mVOA series of coaxial ultra-small fiber optic variable optical attenuators (VOAs) is based on an electrostatic MEMS mirror. It comes in a hermetically sealed package with a diameter of only 3.5 mm, and the devices are manufactured with the latest techniques in laser welding for achieving better stability and improved reliability.
A voltage between 0 and 6.5 V on the drive pin sets the optical attenuation. When power is removed, the VOA returns into its default state. There are two variants available with different default states: normally open (bright) or high attenuation (dark). The dark variant has better linearity and is used in applications where the light is cut at power off. The mVOA series is designed to conform to Telcordia 1221 reliability standards. No epoxy is present in the optical path. The optical collimator is assembled using laser welding techniques which results in long term stability and excellent reliability. The components withstand rugged environments and can directly be mounted on printed circuit boards. This ultra small mVOA series is compliant to ROHS requirements 2011/65/EU and ideally suited for gain control in amplifiers and transceivers.
