The Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Polarization Control Module (mPCX-C1) is a single slot high speed polarization scrambler, controller and stabilizer.  Based on Lithium-Niobate, the electro-optic waveplates have the response time required by the most demanding polarization management applications.  With the rise of coherent modulation formats and polarization multiplex systems - there is a new premium on understanding the way the polarization state of these signals interacts with single mode fiber.  The MPCX-C1 is designed to enable these tests, not only in the laboratory, but also in the transition of these tests into a manufacturing environment.

Highlights

• High speed polarization scrambler, rate programmable from 1.00 rad/s to  3.00 Mrad/sec 
• Operation in C/L, O and All-band with less than 3dB of Insertion Loss
• Uniform scrambling by design, independent of input state of polarization
• 6 advanced scrambling modes including Rayleigh, Random and Ring
• Polarization stabilization and return-to-state capability with proprietary SOP feedback option
• Manual polarization control via classic waveplates

Applications

• Photonic communication test automation
• 100G+ coherent interface testing
• Temporal depolarizer for loss, gain and PDL min/max measurements
• Stabilization and tracking of target SOP
