Micro Polarization Controller-1

Micro Polarization Controller PSM-003-C This OEM micro polarization controller integrates General Photonics' all-fiber dynamic polarization control technology with miniature electronic drive/control circuitry into a compact, self-contained device that provides full polarization control functionality while minimizing volume, power consumption, and cost. The state of polarization (SOP) of the output signal can be controlled via three analog 0 to 5V control voltages. This device is ideal for integration into OCT or sensor systems to maximize signal output. It requires only ±12VDC power supplies, and its low power consumption enables use in batterypowered handheld devices.
