The Luna Quarterly

Advanced control of the polarization state in optical fibers is critical to many emerging high-performance photonic applications, such as directed energy, quantum computing, photonic integrated circuits (PICs), photonics testing and more. Optical system developers are faced with a range of polarization control technology choices, ranging from magneto-optic controllers and piezoelectric squeezers to high-speed lithium-niobate (LiNbO3) based controllers, as well as a variety of advanced polarization control modes and functions.

This informative webinar surveys available polarization technologies, the advantages and limitations of each and how to choose the best technology. It also explains advanced control modes — such as scrambling, tracking, stabilization, depolarization and randomizing — and how these functions are implemented with different polarization technologies in Luna's offerings. Practical examples are given to show how polarization controllers can be applied to build or test modern photonic systems.
