Fiber Polarization Controller, Male FC/APC Bulkhead Connectors.
Model: F-POL-APC
Product Series Overview
Polarization Controllers, ManualNewport's Polarization Controllers are designed for those working with polarization sensitive devices and systems. The patented design, based on an all-fiber Babinet-Soleil compensator, can be used to generate any polarization state at the output from an arbitrary input polarization state.
The rotatable fiber squeezer mechanism adds no intrinsic loss or back-reflection, and allows polarization adjustments in two quick and easy steps. In addition to their compact size, the controllers are insensitive to variations in fiber material, diameter or wavelength of the light passing through the fiber. The F-POL-APC bulkhead version includes an FC/APC fiber optic male connector on either side.
Babinet-Soleil Compensator for Polarization Control
Manual polarization controllers are based on an all-fiber Babinet-Soleil Compensator. The patented design can be used to generate any polarization state at the output from an arbitrary input polarization state.
Three Design Styles Available
The In-Line version, F-POL-IL, offers great flexibility by allowing the insertion of a 250 µm buffered optical fiber. The Pigtailed version, F-POL-PT, includes two 9/125 µm fiber pigtails, with 900 µm jackets, with no connectors, FC/UPC, or FC/APC connectors. The bulkhead versions, F-POL-PC and F-POL-APC, are available with either FC/PC or FC/APC connectors.
