Fiber Control Industries Resonant-Coil Polarization Scrambler converts highly polarized light into light with a scrambled polarization by rapidly modulating the state-of-polarization — creating a time-varying birefringence within the fiber.

Typical function generators (± 10 Volts, Z0 = 50Ω ) provide adequate power for operation near 600 kHz. Optional integrated booster amplifiers extend the range of modulation frequencies up to 1 MHz.

Features:

◆User friendly bench top unit

◆Fully licensed

◆Broad range of modulation frequencies

◆Connectorized input/output

◆Low back-reflection

◆Low insertion loss

Applications:

◆Reduce the effect of of PDL of measurements within optical test-sets

◆Reduce polarization-dependent effects within EDFA based optical transmission systems
