Description
This module integrates a General Photonics dynamic fiber polarization controller, a voltage driver, and a high-speed power acquisition module. The driver board operates on a +12V DC power supply, with the frequency and amplitude of the voltage signals fully configurable via software. It can precisely convert any input state of polarization (SOP) into a desired target state, or function as a random polarization scrambler. Featuring ultra-low insertion loss (IL), minimal back-reflection (high return loss), and low polarization-dependent loss (PDL), it is an ideal solution for demanding test and measurement applications.
