Description

The PolaWise™ polarization measurement system accurately characterizes all polarization related properties of light sources and optical materials. Based on General Photonics’ patented magneto-optic polarization generation and analysis technology, the PSGA-101-A is specially designed to effortlessly accomplish multiple functions in fiber optic applications, including polarization state generation (PSG) and measurement of state of polarization (SOP), polarization extinction ratio (PER), polarization dependent loss (PDL), and polarization mode dispersion (PMD). Another attractive feature of the instrument is its large flip-top LCD graphic display design, an industry first that allows large viewing area on a compact, portable enclosure. A 2x20 character front-panel LCD is also included for convenience in applications that do not require a graphic display, such as PER measurement. The PSGA-101-A’s internal tunable laser enables PDL and PMD measurement up to 10 ps. The PSGA can also control tunable lasers from third parties via a GPIB port for measurement of larger PMD values. Finally, a VGA port allows the use of an external LCD graphic display of the user’s choice. PolaWise™: a wise instrument and a smart choice!
