General Photonics

All fiber polarization controller
MPC-201 Multifunction Polarization Controller

The American manufacturer General Photonics is one of the leading suppliers of fibre-optic measurement devices and components used in the dynamic control of polarisation and the measurement of polarisation-dependent effects in optical fibres. In addition, General Photonics also manufactures solutions used in the management of optical signal run times.

General Photonics’ products are used in the research, development, and production of fibre-optic communications solutions, fibre sensor technology, and biomedical technology, for example in imaging processes such as optical coherence tomography (OCT).

Polarization Control:
General Photonics’ manually or electronically controlled polarisation adjusters and laboratory devices make it possible to set the polarisation in optical fibres in a targeted manner. These stabilizers continually control the polarisation to compensate for deviations in the input polarisation.

Polarization scramblers scramble the polarisation of light, thus producing a depolarized output signal.

Polarization Measurement:
Inline polarimetres, or the polarisation measurement system (PSGA), analyse the polarisation and polarisation-dependent characteristics of optical fibres and components.
 
The measurement of polarisation-dependent loss (PDL), the degree of polarisation (DOP), polarisation extinction rate (PER), or polarisation crosstalk can be performed with measurement devices each optimised specifically for these tasks.

PMD and PDL Management:
Deterministic PMD sources and a PDL source/emulator are available to produce deterministic PMD or PDL values for the characterization of optical transmission systems and components.

This portfolio also includes optical light sources and optical delay lines, such as phase shifters and manual or motorized optical delay lines.
