Polarization Controller
Summary
NEON Photonics’ high-speed polarization controller(NPC) provides the 6 polarization states with a fast switching speed of < 250 μs for the state of polarization(SOP) and shows an robust repeatability of < 0.1 degrees. The NPC provides display and local control of the 6 polarization states using LCD display and 6 buttons on front panel, respectively. The compact NPC with communication interface(Ethernet,USB,RS232C) is optimized for shipment & warehousing inspection utilizing automatic measuring system which consist of tunable laser, optical switch, optical power meter, etc.
