The Lightwaves2020’s high-speed polarization controller (PC) is based on novel optical material offering fast response in µs, in contract with conventional polarization controllers with speed in ms. The dramatic increase in response speed enables
the new polarization controller suitable for demanding 40Gbs PMDC application as well as polarization Mux / DeMux. In addition, the new high-speed polarization
controller is ideal for fiber sensing in optical security, spectroscopy and polarization
dependent imaging in biomedical applications.
An optional driver-PCB, on which the polarization controller is mounted, is provided.
The device is driven by 0-5 VDC voltage to produce 0-2p phase retardation of
polarization state.
The high-speed polarization controller (PC) has options of three or four cell design.
The fourth cell is added for faster searching and controlling.
