Description

General Photonics' Polarization Scrambler module uses a breakthrough all-fiber technology to effectively randomize polarization states. This module is designed to be easily plugged into sensor equipment or measurement instruments with minimal development effort. The PCD-005 is a more advanced version of our popular PCD-004 and PCD-003 modules. Its advanced digital circuitry delivers the uniform SOP distribution familiar to users of the earlier modules over a much wider operation temperature range, making it better suited for sensor field applications. The PCD-005 can be remote controlled via RS-232 to set the operation wavelength or enable/ disable the scrambling operation. While retaining dimensions and interfaces identical to those of the PCD-004, the PCD-005 delivers superior performance with extremely low insertion loss, back reflection, and residual phase and amplitude modulation.
