MULTIFUNCTION
POLARIZATION CONTROLLER - PolaMight™
|
|
Product Summary
Controlling polarization state has never been easier: This instrument has four operational modes
for complete polarization control: variable speed polarization scrambling,
manual polarization adjustment, polarization function generation, and externally triggered scrambling.
In polarization scrambling mode, the instrument uniformly scans through all SOP’s on the Poincaré Sphere
with user selectable speed and waveform, with frequencies ranging from 0.01 Hz to 6kHz,
hundreds of times faster than the Agilent 11896A. Alternatively, it can generate randomized SOP points
with a trigger output for synchronizing external devices. In the function generation mode,
each polarization control axis can be selectively controlled with a sine, square, or saw wave
of user defined frequency and amplitude. Each polarization control axis can also be controlled manually,
by setting the input voltage either from the front panel controls or through a PC interface.
In externally triggered scrambling mode, completely random SOP’s are generated in response
to synchronizing trigger signals, a feature desirable for recirculating loop applications.
None of these features are available in the Agilent 11896A. PolaMight™ puts the user in complete control.
