Description: The Agilent polarization controller provides polarization synthesis relative to a built-in polarizer. The wave plates are individually adjusted to create all possible states of polarization deterministically. The polarizer gererates a linear state of polarization and the controller enables the transition path from one state of polarization on the Poincare sphere to another to be specified along orthogonal great circles.
This unit has the following features:
Polarization synthesis
Complete, automatic adjustments of polarization state over the entire Poincare sphere
Low insertion loss: 0.7 dB
Wavelength range: 1400 - 1640 nm
Stable orthogonal SOP over wavelength
Polarization dependent loss (PDL) measurement for passive components for telecommunication network including WDM network components such as coupler, filter, isolator
Polarizatin dependent gain (PDG) measurement for EDFA and other amplifiers measurement
Polarization adjustment of optical launch condition for polarization mode dispersion (PMD) measurements
Ideal instrument for passive component test
