The F-ILP Series Fiber Optic In-Line Polarizers are designed for fiber optic networks and measurement applications, which include polarization analyzing, polarization monitoring and control, Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) monitoring, Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD) monitoring, spectrum filtering and control, Polarization Extinction Ratio (PER) improvement, fiber laser mode-locking and polarization interferometry. When combined with Newport's F-POL Series Polarization Controller, Manual the F-ILP Series can function as a variable fiber optic attenuator. The F-ILP Series is based on integrating a high PER micro-polarizer in a rugged stainless steel package for high optical performance and stability. These compact devices offer low insertion loss, low back reflection and high extinction ratio. Both pigtailed and no-tail versions are available. The no-tail version has the advantage of eliminating the polarization disturbances caused by fiber pigtails. The pigtailed versions come with ~1 m long fiber pigtails with 900 µm loose tube.
Applications
- Eliminating unwanted polarization states
- PMD monitoring
- Polarization interferometry
