Optical Polarimeter

Lightwaves2020's polarimeter is a small form factor device that outputs four photocurrents that can be used to calculate both the state of polarisation (SOP) and the degree of polarisation (DOP). Covering the operating wavelength range from 1525 to 1570nm, the polarimeter offers excellent optical performance, including low dark current, low insertion loss, low wavelength dependence, and wide dynamic optical power range. This device is ideal for integration into polarisation measuring and stabilising modules.
Lightwaves2020's polarimeter is designed for the use in polarisation division multiplexing, polarisation measurement, PMD compensation, and fibre sensing systems. RoHSFeatures
