PSY-201 Polarization Synthesizer/Analyzer

Product information "PSY-201 Polarization Synthesizer/Analyzer"

1280-1620 nm; SOP Sampling Rate ≤4 MHz; Analog Bandwidth 1 MHz; Input Power Dynamic Range 45 dB; IL ≤1.6 dB; PDL <0.25 dB; PMD <0.1 ps; RL 45, 55 dB

Lunas’ PSY-201 deterministic polarization synthesizer/analyzer generates and maintains any state of polarization (SOP), regardless of the input SOP. It combines General Photonics’ patented controller, polarimeter, and control algorithms into an instrument that functions as both an SOP generator and a polarization analyzer.

The generated SOP and the corresponding Poincaré representation are displayed on a PC via USB interface. Output SOP can be defined by Stokes parameters, by manually tuning the SOP to any point on the Poincaré sphere or by optimizing a polarization-dependent metric. Once a desired output SOP is found, the instrument maintains the SOP against input SOP fluctuations.

The user can generate 6 distinct SOPs (0°, 90°, ±45°, RHC and LHC) for Mueller matrix calculations, or select any of the 6 states at the touch of a button.

The PSY-201 polarization synthesizer/analyzer contains programmed SOP traces of common polarization variations. It can also function as a polarization scrambler, generating SOP scans with user-defined parameters and, with the internal polarization controller disabled, it can function as an in-line polarimeter, displaying the instantaneous SOP and DOP of the input light beam.

Features include a data logging function for long-term measurement of polarization changes of up to 1 billion points, long-term SOP monitoring, SOP markers for angle measurement and a "SOP replay" function in sphere display mode, as well as extended triggering capability in oscilloscope mode. PSY-201 puts all of the tools necessary for polarization management at your fingertips.

DEP Depolarizer
1310, 1550 nm; IL 1.0 dB; DOP <5%; ER <0.5 dB; RL 55 dB General Photonics’ DEP depolarizer module is a passive device (requiring no external power) that depolarizes laser output. The standard configuration can be used for coherence lengths less than 10 m. Custom units can be specified for coherence lengths of multiple kilometers. The DEP polarizer is ideal for minimizing the polarization sensitivity of fiber optic sensor systems such as systems for quasi-distributed temperature and strain sensing based on fiber Bragg gratings (FBG), systems for distributed temperature and strain sensing based on Brillouin or Raman scattering and systems for distributed acoustic sensing based on Rayleigh scattering. It can also help to eliminate the effects of PDL or polarization sensitivity of optical components and instruments. Equally important, it can be used for depolarizing pump lasers to eliminate the polarization sensitivity of Raman amplifiers. The DEP polarizer is packaged in a small (85 × 60 × 10 mm), rugged aluminium box, providing high performance and superb environmental stability. The internal structure and package size may be different depending on the coherence length or spectral width of the light signal to be depolarized. Contact AMS Technologies for an optimized configuration for your intended applications. Key Features: Customizable for Light Sources With Different Coherence Lengths Low Output Degree of Polarization (DOP): <5% Center Operating Wavelength: 1310, 1550 nm Wide Operating Wavelength Range: ±50 nm Low Insertion Loss: 1.0 dB Typical, 1.4 dB Maximum Compact Size: 85 × 60 × 10, 85 x 85 x 15 mm, Larger Package for Coherence Length >200 m No Power Source Required Coherence Length of Light Source: 10 m Standard, Others Specify Residual Extinction Ratio (ER): <0.5 dB Return Loss: 55 dB Optical Power Handling: ≥300 mW Fiber Type Input: PM Panda Fiber Fiber Type Output: SMF-28 Applications: Minimize Polarization Sensitivity of Fiber Sensors; Depolarize Pump Lasers; Remove Polarization Sensitivity of Raman Amplifiers; Eliminate Polarization Sensitivity of Optical Instruments; Eliminate the Effects of PDL; Can Be Integrated Into Remote Monitors

AFS-A/SFS-A/AGI-A/ASI-A/UVS-H2A Aluminium Coated High Temperature Fibers
Aluminium Coated, Single Mode, Multi Mode; 190 to 2400 nm; Core Diameter 50 to 400 µm; Mode Field Diameter 4.3, 9.0 µm; Cladding Diameter 125 to 440 µm; Numerical Aperture 0.12 to 0.275Fiberguide’s AFS-A/SFS-A/AGI-A/ASI-A/UVS-H2A series of aluminium coated fibers are designed for a wide temperature range (-269 to +400 °C) and superior strength (>100 kpsi). This allows for long life at extended stress levels in applications that require tight bends. Also, the strong chemical bond between the silica cladding and the aluminum enables direct termination without pistoning. This bond also makes aluminium coating the ideal choice to preserve deep UV performance in Fiberguide’s Solarguide UVS-H2A series of solarization resistant UV multi mode fiber. Within this series of aluminium coated high temperature fibers, users find step index (AFS/SFS, UVS-H2) and graded index (AGI) multi mode fibers as well as anhydrous silica (ASI) single mode fibers. As an option, some types of aluminium coated high temperature fibers can be provided with a broad selection of shaped tips – standard configurations as well as custom designed shapes. Shaped tip fibers provide optimum control over beam delivery and/or increased efficiency of light collection. Some of the fibers can also be end capped to achieve higher coupled power into a fiber core by reducing the power density at the air / silica interface, commonly the point of laser damage. End cap diameters and lengths are offered for select numerical apertures and fiber cores size, but can be easily customized for a variety of fiber types and specialized applications. Additionally, all fiber types can be equipped on demand with Fiberguide’s patented RARe Motheye anti-reflective technology that enhances fiber transmission performance and significantly increases the damage threshold for your application over a large wavelength range. Key Features: Multi Mode (Step/Graded Index) or Single Mode Fibers Pure Fused Silica Core, Fluorine Doped/Pure Silica Cladding Coating: Aluminium Core / Cladding Sizes: 50/125 to 400/440 µm (MM) Mode Field Diameter / Cladding Sizes: 4.3/125, 9.0/125 µm (SM) Numerical Aperture (NA): 0.12 to 0.275 Recommended Bend Radius: Short Term 100 x Clad Diameter, Long Term 200 x Clad Diameter 100% Proof Test Using 4-Axis Bend Method Applications: High Temperature and Cryogenic Temperature Sensing; Semiconductor Manufacturing; Corrosive and Caustic Environments; Ultra-high Vacuum Devices; Radiation Resistant Sensors; Rocket, Turbine and Jet Engine Monitoring
