Overview (PDF, 1.4MB) |
 
The A1000 is a compact high-speed Polarization Analyzer (Polarimeter) which
provides comprehensive capabilities for analyzing polarization properties of
optical signals. This includes representation of the State of Polarization
(SOP) on the Poincaré Sphere (Stokes Parameter) as well as determining the
Müller and Jones Matrices. The on-board algorithms together with the on-board
calibration data ensure highly accurate operation across a broad wavelength
range.
Due to its real time capability (1 MSamples/s) the instrument is well suited
for analyzing disturbed and fluctuating signals as well as for control
applications requiring real time feedback of polarization information. The
provided analysis software allows a comprehensive analysis of the obtained
measurement data. Combining this unit with a polarization controller and a
tuneable laser allows high-speed PMD/PDL measurements.
