Micro Polarization Scrambler PSM-003-S This OEM micro polarization scrambler 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. Two polarization scrambling options are available: random scrambling at a rate of up to 30 discrete points/s or smooth trace scrambling at a rate of up to 188 rad/s (60π rad/s). Scrambling can be disabled with a 5-volt TTL high and enabled with a TTL low. This module is ideal for integration in a PDL measurement instrument or in a sensor system to minimize polarization related measurement uncertainties. It requires only ±12VDC power supplies, and its low power consumption enables use in battery-powered handheld devices.
