Polarization Scramblers
Quick Overview
Ultrafast endless optical polarization scrambling at up to 10000 krad/s
Based on electrooptic waveplates with adjustable rotation speeds
40 ns clock cycles (= updating intervals) assure continuous, quasi-steady polarization changes even at high scrambling speeds
Synchronous mode (for recirculating loop experiments)
Triggered mode (for PDL and Mueller/Jones matrix measurements) available
Insertion loss: ~1.5…3 dB
Low power consumption: ~12 W (+5 V from included power supply 100-240 V)
Differential group delay (DGD) sections consisting of polarization-maintaining fibers (PMF) can be provided for PMD emulation
Available as a desktop unit, as a module or as an intellectual property core
We are eager to accommodate special requirements.
