Polarization Measurement System – PolaWise™
PolaWiseTM is an advanced polarization measurement system for accurate measurement of 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 for fiber optic applications and can effortlessly accomplish multiple functions, including polarization state generation (PSG), polarization state analysis (PSA), polarization extinction ratio (PER) measurement, polarization dependent loss (PDL) measurement, and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) measurement. 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.
Furthermore, a 2x20 character LCD is also included on the front panel for easy operation of the instrument for applications that do not require a graphic display. The instrument comes with an internal tunable laser for PDL and PMD measurement up to 10ps. It can also control tunable lasers from third parties via a GPIB port for measurement of larger PMD values. The instrument also comes with a VGA port for use with an external LCD graphic display of the user’s choice. PolaWiseTM : a wise instrument and a smart choice!
