PSG-001 Polarization State Generator
Product information "PSG-001 Polarization State Generator"
1260-1620 nm; IL 1.0, 1.2 dB; WDL ≤0.3 dB; Switching Speed ≤250 µs; Repeatability ±0.1°; RL ≥55 dB
General Photonics’ PSG-001 high-speed polarization state generator (PSG) module generates six states of polarization (-45°, 0°, 45°, 90°, RHC & LHC) across the Poincaré sphere in less than 250 μs, with a repeatability of less than 0.1 degrees.
In addition, PSG-001 comes as a compact module ideal for integration into systems that require precise generation of these six polarization states or precise 90° polarization rotation. The PSG-001 polarization state generator is easily controlled with a 6-bit TTL signal either from a microcontroller or a computer.
