MPC Polarization Controller

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

Lunas 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 Lunas 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.

MPC-201 Polarization Controller
980-1620 nm; Multiple Polarization Control Modes; IL <0.6 dB; PDL <0.1 dB; PMD <0.2 ps; AL <0.1 dB; RL >50 dBControlling the state of polarization (SOP) of an optical signal has never been easier – Lunas MPC-201 multifunction polarization controller has four operational modes for complete polarization control: variable rate polarization scrambling, manual polarization adjustment, polarization modulation, and externally triggered random SOP generation.Four different polarization scrambling methods enable the SOP to a) trace out a spiral pattern about a static or rotating axis with a nearly uniform SOP variation rate for system stress tests (Tornado scrambling); b) generate a continuous trace with a Rayleigh distribution of SOP variation rate, for emulation of the SOP variation in a fiber link (Rayleigh scrambling); c) generate a continuous trace with uniform sphere coverage for PDL measurement (Triangle scrambling); or d) evenly cover the Poincaré sphere with discrete, random points at a uniform rate (Discrete scrambling).In the SOP modulation mode, each polarization control axis can be selectively controlled with a sine, square, or triangle wave of user defined frequency and amplitude. Each polarization control axis can also be controlled manually, by setting the input voltage either from the front panel controls or through a remote control interface. In externally triggered scrambling mode, discrete, random SOPs are generated in response to a trigger input, a feature desirable for recirculating loop applications or other applications requiring synchronization with other devices.Finally, the MPC-201 can emulate the Agilent 11896A polarization scrambler function, allowing it to act as a plug-in replacement for this popular but discontinued device, while offering many more advanced features. The MPC-201 polarization controller puts the user in control.Key Features:Multiple Polarization Control ModesTornado Scrambling (Quasi-uniform Rate Distribution): 0.00 to 2,000 Revolutions/sReal Fiber SOP (State of Polarization) Variation Emulation (Rayleigh Rate Distribution): 0.00 to 2,000 rad/sDiscrete Random States SOP Scrambling: 0.00 to 20,000 Points/sTriangle Polarization Scrambling: 0.00 to 2,000 x 2π rad/sAgilent 11896A Scrambling Emulation: Speed Settings 1 to 8, Matched to 11896A SettingsSOP ModulationOperating Wavelength Range: 1260 to 1620 nm, 980 to 1310 nmManual Polarization Control: 4 Channels, 0 to 4π Each ChannelLow Insertion Loss (IL): <0.5 dB With ConnectorsLow Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.05 dB With ConnectorsLow Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD): <0.1 ps With ConnectorsLow Activation Loss (AL): <0.05 dB With ConnectorsReturn Loss: >50 dB With ConnectorsOptical Power Handling: 1,000 mWBright OLED DisplayApplications: Recirculating Loop Studies; Automated Testing; Real Fiber Emulation; SOP Variation Emulation; PMD Emulation; Polarization Scrambling; System Polarization Studies; PDL/DOP Measurement

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 Low Voltage Applications: Polarization Scrambling; Polarization Stabilization; Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) Mitigation; Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) Mitigation; PDL and PMD Measurement Systems; Interferometers and Sensors; OCT Systems

PSM-003 Polarization Controller/Scrambler
1260-1650 nm; IL 0.05, 0.1 dB; PDL <0.01, <0.1 dB; PMD <0.05 ps; AL 0.01, 0.1 dB; RL >65 dBLunas’ PSM-003 series includes a 3-axis polarization controller (PSM-003-C) and polarization scrambler (PSM-003-S). They use the same patented all-fiber design as the larger Luna polarization controllers and therefore have the associated benefits of low insertion loss and minimal back reflection.This OEM micro polarization controller/scrambler integrates Lunas’ all-fiber dynamic polarization control technology with miniature electronic drive/control circuitry into a compact, self-contained device that provides full polarization control functionality while minimizing volume, power consumption and cost.Both versions are packaged in a 2 cubic inch module, require only ±12 VDC power supplies, and their low power consumption enables use in battery-powered handheld devices. Optional measurement grade versions of both modules are available with very low PDL and activation loss.The state of polarization (SOP) of the PSM-003-C micro polarization controller’s output signal can be controlled via three analog 0 to 5 V control voltages. This device is ideal for integration into OCT or sensor systems to maximize signal output.The PSM-003-S micro polarization scrambler can perform either continuous, smooth trace scrambling at a rate of up to 60π rad/s or random scrambling control at a rate of up to 5 discrete points/s. Continuous scrambling versions can be specified with one of 6 scrambling rate options, and random versions with one of four scrambling rate options. Scrambling can be disabled/enabled with a 5 V TTL signal. This module is ideal for integration in a PDL measurement instrument or in a sensor system to minimize polarization related measurement uncertainties.Key Features:Compact Size: 65.5 x 32 x 16 mmMilliwatt Power ConsumptionWide Temperature Range: -10 to +70 °CPlug & PlayWavelength Range: 1260 to 1650 nm (Others Available)Insertion Loss (IL): 0.05, 0.1 dB (Intrinsic)Return Loss (RL) :>65 dB (Intrinsic)Activation Loss (AL): 0.01, 0.1 dBPolarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.01, <0.1 dBPolarization Mode Dispersion (PMD): <0.05 psOptical Power Handling: 300 mW Fiber Pigtail: 9/125 µm Single Mode (SM) Fiber Standard, Other Fiber AvailableApplications: Polarization Control in OCT Systems; Polarization Control in Sensor or Measurement Systems; Minimize Polarization-related Fluctuation in Sensor and Measurement Systems; PDL or DOP Measurement
