Product information "MPC Polarization Controller"

1260-1650 nm; IL 0.05 dB; PMD 0.05 ps; AL <0.01, <0.05 dB; RL >65 dB; Max. Rise & Fall Time 30 µs

General Photonics’ MPC all fiber polarization controller module is packaged in a low-profile, 16 mm high enclosure, suitable for system integration and mounting on a PCB. The module’s low height is especially advantageous for integration in test equipment, fiber sensors, fiber lasers and optical network modules.

Available with three (-3x) and four channels (-4x), the MPC polarization controller module features an all-fiber design with inherently low loss, minimal activation loss and minimal back reflection. A special athermal design leads to stable operation over a wide range of temperatures (-25 to +80 °C).

Combined with General Photonics’ miniature piezo driver card, it can be controlled either by a digital or analog signal to obtain any desired polarization output from an arbitrary input polarization state.
