Description

The FF-8610 is a polarization analysis device for measuring spatial collimation light and fiber optic sources. The instrument uses the rotating wave plate method to measure the degree of polarization. The maximum sampling rate is 20hz. The FF-8610 is equipped with software that displays the polarization state in real time on the Bonga Sphere window. The polarization extinction ratio (PER) of narrow-band light can be measured through the measurement technology of heating optical fiber by combining with the polarization state heat cycle heater.

Application

1. Polarization state analysis and monitoring

Testing both free-space collimated light beams and FC fiber optic sources used to require separate polarization setups in our laboratory. The FF-8610 SOP Rotary Polarization Analyzer solved this by offering a versatile input port accepting standard FC connectors as well as free-space spatial collimated light via its 3 mm light aperture. Utilizing the rotating waveplate method, the unit accurately measures State of Polarization (SOP) with 0.25° accuracy and Degree of Polarization (DOP) down to 1% accuracy across the 1270 nm to 1650 nm wavelength spectrum. The software interface displays the polarization state dynamically on a Poincaré sphere window, making it an essential bench-top instrument for optical research and optical rotation angle characterization.

We acquired the FF-8610 for high-accuracy polarization state monitoring and narrow-band Polarization Extinction Ratio (PER) characterization. By combining the analyzer with a polarization state heat cycle heater, our engineering team can execute precise PER measurements across a 0 dB to 40 dB range with a fine 0.1 dB resolution. The unit handles input optical powers from -40 dBm up to +10 dBm, allowing us to evaluate faint fiber signal outputs without signal noise distortion. At a $5,000 USD reference price, FirstFiber has delivered a robust, highly stable rotary polarization analyzer that seamlessly satisfies our enterprise quality assurance demands.

On our optical transceiver quality control line, real-time polarization state analysis and beam alignment are critical. The FF-8610's dedicated software visualizes SOP trajectories directly on a Poincaré sphere window, providing our technicians with immediate visual feedback during optical rotation angle measurements. Its spatial collimation input tolerates a maximum deviation angle of up to 2°, simplifying free-space beam alignment during production testing. Supported by a 100 Hz sampling rate and compact 235 × 104 × 300 mm chassis footprint, it is a well-built, cost-effective analyzer for high-volume optical device testing.
