Newport's new 2590P Series Polarization Synthesizer/Analyzer is a turnkey instrument for generating and maintaining any desired states of polarization (SOP), regardless of the input SOP. It is an integration of Newport's polarization controller, in-line polarimeter, and proprietary algorithm, and can be used both as a deterministic polarization state generator and a polarization analyzer. The generated SOP and the corresponding Poincare Sphere can be readily displayed on a computer screen via USB interface. For generating a desired SOP, a user simply inputs the corresponding Stokes parameters using the front panel key pad and then the instrument automatically searches for the SOP and maintains it against input SOP fluctuations. Another attractive feature is that the user can scan through 6 distinct SOPs (0°, 90°, +/- 45°, RHC and LHC) sequentially with user defined speed for Muller matrix calculation or select any of the 6 states with a touch of a button. Furthermore, the user can select multiple predetermined SOP traces for the instrument to generate, emulating certain common polarization variations. The instrument can also function as a polarization scrambler to generate random SOP scans with user defined scanning speed. Finally, by disabling the internal polarization controller, the 2590P functions as an in-line ...

The instrument can also function as a polarization scrambler to generate random SOP scans with user defined scanning speed. Finally, by disabling the internal polarization controller, the 2590P functions as an in-line polarimeter to display the instantaneous SOP and degree of polarization (DOP) information. FC/PC and FC/APC connector versions are standard. Connector types can be easily converted to FC/PC, FC/APC, SC/PC or SC/APC by ordering the optional universal connector adapters listed in the ordering table. The 2590P Series puts the power of polarization management at your fingertips.
