High Speed In-line Polarimeter

SKU: POLA

The POLA series in-line polarimeter is designed for high-speed polarization measurement and cost-effective optical characterization without interrupting data traffic. The device outputs four voltage signals that enable the calculation of both the Degree of Polarization (DOP) and the State of Polarization (SOP) of light passing through the device within microseconds. The POLA series is ideal for integration into polarization monitoring systems, polarization stabilization modules, and polarization characterization instruments. A preamplifier is integrated inside the IPOLA device to provide analog signals for SOP and DOP calculations. Optional PCB boards with amplifiers and computer interfaces are available to facilitate system integration. Each device is supplied with calibration matrix data required for accurate polarization calculations. For OEM applications, versions without the preamplification integration and calibration matrix are also available. Standard operating wavelengths are 1550 nm and 1310 nm. Other wavelengths can be supported upon request and require Non-Recurring Engineering (NRE).The IPOLA can also be combined with a polarization controller for automatic polarization state control, available in the APSC series products, enabling automated polarization management in advanced optical systems.
