Polarization Switches & Scramblers

Overview

Exail polarization scramblers (PSC-LN) and polarization switches (PSW-LN) are integrated-optic devices built on a low-loss single-mode waveguide. They modulate polarization at frequencies from DC to more than 10 GHz across an optical bandwidth wider than 100 nm, covering the C+L bands.

Key features

• C+L band operation
• DC to more than 10 GHz
• Low insertion loss
• Elimination of polarization sensitivity (depolarizing)
• Polarization scrambling
• Interferometers and sensors

Specifications

• Modulation: DC to more than 10 GHz
• Optical bandwidth: more than 100 nm (C+L bands)

Applications

• Polarization scrambling and depolarizing
• Interferometers and sensors
• Elimination of polarization sensitivity in fiber systems
