1520-1610 nm; Insertion Loss <1.00 dB; Polarization Mode Dispersion <0.5 ps; Return Loss >55 dB; Fiber Type SM; Max. Input Power 500 mW OZ Opticsʼ PDLE-100-11 motor driven polarization dependent loss emulator (PDLE) is an OEM module that comes with a built-in stepper motor, optical block, and control firmware. The device allows the user to set, with high precision, a desired PDL artifact value within a 0.1 dB to 20 dB dynamic range, using the remote-control interface commands. The motor driven PDLE features low insertion loss (IL) and low polarization mode dispersion (PMD) over a broad operating wavelength range. The standard model is optimized for C/L band optical signals, covering 1520 nm to 1610 nm. By controlling and accurately manipulating the state of polarization (SOP) inside the device, one can generate variable PDL from 0.1 dB to 20 dB (higher PDL values available on request), with fine resolution. The PDLE-100-11 is useful to emulate PDL effects due to passive/active optical devices in an optical link, such as attenuators, modulators, array waveguides, fiber Bragg gratings, switches, fused couplers, etc. The PDLE enables physical emulation of the PDL in an optical system to quantify available PDL budget margins. The PDLE coupled with other OZ Optics products such as a polarization dependent loss meter, a polarized stable source, or a polarization controller, can significantly assist in defining and quantifying polarization dependent losses in an optical system.

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 ConnectorsMinimal Activation Loss (AL): 0.01 dB, 0.05 dB Fast ResponseDigital and Analog ControlCompact SizeOperating Wavelength Range: 1260 to 1650 nm, 980 to 1310 nmPolarization Control Range: 3 or 4 Channels, 0 to 4π Each ChannelLow Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL): <0.05 dB Low Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD): <0.05 ps Return Loss: >65 dBOptical Power Handling: 1,000 mWBoard Dimensions: 100 x 100 x 17.5 mmApplications: Polarization Control; Polarization Scrambling; PDL Measurement; PMD Compensation/Emulation; Fiber Sensor

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
