PER-KIT Polarization Extinction Ratio Measurement Test Set

Product information "PER-KIT Polarization Extinction Ratio Measurement Test Set"

1290-1650 nm; No. of Channels 1; PER Resolution 0.01 dB; PER Dynamic Range 47 dB; Angular Resolution 0.3°; Input Optical Power Range 50-1000 µW; Source Output Power 1 mW

OZ Optics has bundled its polarized sources, polarization extinction ratio meters and master reference patchcords into the PER-KIT – one complete test set for rapid testing of the polarization maintaining properties of optical components. We offer systems for testing devices terminated with connectors, as well as systems for testing the polarization properties of V-Groove arrays.

For standard components, the extinction ratio measurement system includes a polarized source with a rotatable polarizer, a polarization extinction ratio meter, a quick connect adaptor for the extinction ratio meter, and a reference polarization maintaining patchcord.

For V-Groove arrays, OZ Optics offers an OEM version of the polarization measurement system (manual operated type and semi-automated type). The test set includes the polarized source with rotatable polarizer, an OEM version of the extinction ratio meter with external optics, a V-Groove mount with a three-axis position system, with one axis motorized for semi-automated type, a reference V-Groove array with a single PM fiber, and an application software package for semi-automated type. The user only has to supply a Windows-based computer to operate the system as a semi-automated test bed.

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.
