FiberControl’s polarization-independent polarization state scrambler, PS-700, provides
high speed scrambling of optical signals with low insertion loss and is independent of the
input state-of-polarization. This robust all fiber design provides a wide optical bandwidth,
and enables the use of high signal powers, thereby making it suitable for DWDM
applications.
Our unique RF-modulated format provides near pseudo-random scrambling as indicated by
the broad RF electrical spectral response, unlike other scramblers, whose spectral response
reveals well-defined resonances. The high-speed scrambling provides coverage over a
large portion of the Poincaré sphere. Fully Patented.
Features:
◆Polarization independent
◆Broad optical bandwidth
◆High optical power throughput
◆Low back-reflection, low insertion loss
◆Connectorized or fiber input/output
◆Instant on (no warm-up)
◆Wide temperature range
Applications:
◆Component level PDL measurements
◆Sub-system PDL testing
◆Reduce polarization-dependent effects within EDFA optical transmission systems(PDG, PDL)
◆Reduce PDL in test-bed measurements of third-party optical equipment
