Polarization Scrambler

The PCD-003 Polarization Scrambler Module rapidly randomizes the instantaneous polarization state of output light to achieve a time-averaged depolarization effect in the C band.

Product Description

The PCD-003/005 polarization scramblers combine a fiber squeezer polarization controller with specialized driver electronics to achieve uniform Poincaré sphere coverage in a few ms. Because they use the resonance frequencies of the polarization controller, the scrambling rate is fixed. Because of the all-fiber construction, they have low insertion loss and low back reflection as well as minimal phase and amplitude modulation.

The PCD-003 is a simple module that is enabled as long as it is powered on, and operates in the C band.

Solutions and Applications

Polarization scramblers are useful for any application that requires a quasi-depolarized signal, especially for long coherence length sources for which a passive depolarizer is not suitable.
