Micro Polarization Scrambler

Product catalog summary

Micro Polarization Scrambler Overview:
This document details the specifications and applications of the PSM-003-S micro polarization scrambler by General Photonics. It integrates dynamic polarization control technology with electronic drive/control circuitry in a compact device, offering full polarization control while minimizing volume, power consumption, and cost. It is suitable for PDL measurement instruments and sensor systems to reduce polarization-related uncertainties.

Applications:
The scrambler is ideal for integration in measurement and sensor systems, particularly for minimizing polarization-related fluctuations. It supports random scrambling up to 30 points/s and smooth trace scrambling up to 188 rad/s. Scrambling can be controlled via a 5-volt TTL signal.

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.
