A3000 Polarization Stabilizer
See datasheet of the
A3000 Polarization Stabilizer.
The A3000 is a versatile instrument capable of manipulating the polarization state (SOP) as well as stabilizing the SOP to a fixed state.
Stabilizing is achieved by minimizing the power level at the output of a polarization beam splitter (PBS). Minimizing the power at one port will maximize the output power at the second port. Furthermore, the light at the second output has a well-defined SOP since only signal components with the correct SOP can pass the PBS. The output of the PBS is a polarization maintaining fiber. Thus, the A3000 can be used to couple light with an unknown SOP into the main axis of a PMF.
Applications:
- PMF Coupling
- Polarization Stabilization
- Polarization Scrambling
- Polarization Control
