Product information "MPC-203 Polarization Controller"

980-1620 nm; SOP Change Rate ≤11 Mrad/s; IL <0.6 dB; PDL <0.1 dB; PMD <0.2 ps; AL <0.1 dB; RL >50 dB

General Photonics’ MPC-203 high-speed multifunction polarization controller is specially designed to meet the high SOP (state of polarization) scrambling requirements needed for stress testing a coherent receiver’s polarization tracking performance.

MPC-203 combines General Photonics’ award winning PolaRite™ II/III polarization controller with proprietary polarization control algorithms to achieve a wide range of polarization control functionalities, including high-speed polarization scrambling with a maximum SOP change rate of up to 11 Mrad/s.

Unlike other high-speed polarization scramblers found in the market, this all-fiber, pass-through design ensures low insertion loss (IL), polarization dependent loss (PDL), polarization mode dispersion (PMD) and activation loss (AL).

PCD-M02 Polarization Controller

980-1650 nm; 3, 4 Channels; Polarization Control Range 0-4π Each Channel; IL <0.05, <0.6 dB; PDL <0.05 dB; PMD <0.05 ps; AL <0.01, <0.05 dB; RL >65 dB General Photonics’ PCD-M02 polarization controller module integrates an all-fiber dynamic polarization controller with a miniature piezo driver card, so that the SOP of the signal can be directly controlled either by a 0 to 5 V analog control signal or a 12-bit TTL digital control signal. The 3- or 4-channel polarization controller module features an on-board high voltage DC/DC converter, so no external high voltage power supply is required. The card can be configured to accept either a ±12 VDC power supply or an optional external 160 V power supply. As a polarization controller, the PCD-M02 can convert any input polarization state to any desired output polarization state. As a scrambler, it can randomize the output polarization state. This module offers the low insertion loss, low back reflection, and low activation loss needed for test and measurement applications, combined with the compact size needed for system integration or handheld devices. Key Features: Minimal Insertion Loss (IL): <0.05 dB Without Connectors, <0.6 dB With Connectors Minimal Activation Loss (AL): 0.01 dB, 0.05 dB Fast Response Digital and Analog Control Compact Size Operating Wavelength Range: 1260 to 1650 nm, 980 to 1310 nm Polarization Control Range: 3 or 4 Channels, 0 to 4π Each Channel Low Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.05 dB Low Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD): <0.05 ps Return Loss: >65 dB Optical Power Handling: 1,000 mW Board Dimensions: 100 x 100 x 17.5 mm Applications: Polarization Control; Polarization Scrambling; PDL Measurement; PMD Compensation/Emulation; Fiber Sensor
