Controlling polarization state cannot be easier with variable speed polarization scrambling, manual polarization adjustment, polarization function generation, and externally triggered scrambling all included with the 2580P series. In polarization scrambling mode, the instrument uniformly scans through all SOP on Poincare Sphere with user selectable speed and waveform with frequencies ranging from 0.01Hz to 6kHz, hundreds of times faster than Agilent 11896A. Alternatively, it generates randomized SOP points with a trigger output for synchronizing external devices. In the function generation mode, each polarization control axis can be selectively controlled with a sine, square, or sawtooth wave of user defined frequency and amplitude. Additionally, each polarization control axis can also be controlled manually using a user-selected voltage either through the front panel input or USB/RS232 interface. In externally triggered scrambling mode, complete random SOP’s are generated responding to synchronizing trigger signals, a feature desirable for recirculating loop applications. All those features are not available with Agilent 11896A. FC/PC and FC/APC connector versions are standard. Connector types can easily be converted to FC/PC, FC/APC, SC/PC or SC/APC by ordering the optional universal connector adapters listed in the ordering table. With Newport’s 2580P Series Multifunction Polarization Controller, the user is in complete control. • Manual Polarization Adjustment • Variable Polarization Scanning and Scrambling • Polarization Function Generation • Externally Triggered Scrambling Applications • PMD Emulation • Polarization Scrambling • PDL/DOP Measurements • System Polarization Studies • Recirculating Loop Studies Specifications Model 2580P Series Wavelength Range (nm) 1260 to 1630 Insertion Loss, Maximum (dB) 0.05, excluding connector loss Return Loss (dB) 70 Polarization Dependent Loss (PDL) (dB) 0.02 Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) (dB) 0.1 Power, Maximum, Continuous (mW) 1000 Fiber Optic Connector FC/PC or FC/APC Display Type 2 by 20 Character LCD Operating Temperature Range (°C) 0 to 40 Storage Temperature Range (°C) -20 to 70 Communication Interfaces RS-232, USB, Ethernet Power Requirements* 100-120 VAC, 50/60 Hz Dimensions(W x D x H) [in.
