Polarized Light Source
PLS-100
The PLS-100 is a light source with well defined polarization. It features stable high output power while maintaining a high polarization extinction ratio (PER) of 45dB (typ.). Combining PLS-100 and PEM-330 (Polarization Extinction Ratio Meter) provides an optimized system for PER measurement of polarization maintaining (PM) fiber optic devices in both R&D and production environments.
