SPECIAL POLARIZATION INSTRUMENTS COMPONENTS APPLICATION ACCESSORIES GUIDE FAQS TIMING/DELAY MANAGEMENT MODULES POLARIZATION MANAGEMENT MODULES General Photonics Corporation 909.590.5473 http://www.generalphotonics.com -49- This is the in-line version of the PolaRITE™ polarization controller. It can be inserted into a fiber optic system to control the polarization state of light without having to disconnect any part of the system. It can be used by simply inserting a length of fiber into the slot located on top of the device. The miniature version can be inserted in even tighter spaces in a fiber optic module.
