Product information "MPC Polarization Controller"
1260-1650 nm; IL 0.05 dB; PMD 0.05 ps; AL <0.01, <0.05 dB; RL >65 dB; Max. Rise & Fall Time 30 µs
General Photonics’ MPC all fiber polarization controller module is packaged in a low-profile, 16 mm high enclosure, suitable for system integration and mounting on a PCB. The module’s low height is especially advantageous for integration in test equipment, fiber sensors, fiber lasers and optical network modules.
Available with three (-3x) and four channels (-4x), the MPC polarization controller module features an all-fiber design with inherently low loss, minimal activation loss and minimal back reflection. A special athermal design leads to stable operation over a wide range of temperatures (-25 to +80 °C).
Combined with General Photonics’ miniature piezo driver card, it can be controlled either by a digital or analog signal to obtain any desired polarization output from an arbitrary input polarization state.
Key Features:
- OEM Packaging
- All-fiber Design
- Low Intrinsic Insertion Loss: 0.05 dB
- Low Back Reflection – Return Loss: >65 dB

VP Variable Optical Attenuators
MEMS-based, Pigtail Style, Broadband; Single/Dual Types; Fiber Type Single Mode; 1240 to 1640 nm; Attenuation up to 45 dB
Sercalo Technology’s VP series of MEMS-based, broadband variable optical attenuators (VOAs) achieves very low insertion loss and optimized polarization dependent loss characteristics. The VP series of variable attenuators allows the continuous adjustment of the attenuation with a 0 to 5 V control voltage.
The highly reliable attenuation mechanism is based on a micromechanical shutter – moving an obstructing element into the optical beam between two single mode fibers – and features below 2 ms response time and only 0.5 dB insertion loss. The position of the obstructing element can be adjusted by an integrated electrostatic actuator, resulting in a fast and hysteresis free response. The low insertion loss and the fast response time make the VP series of VOAs ideal components for active power tuning in WDM networks. Their miniature package withstands rugged environments and is well suited for direct mounting on printed circuit boards
