FIBERPRO PS3000 Series Polarization Scrambler
The FIBERPRO PS3000 Series Polarization Scrambler is an all-fiber optic polarization scrambler designed for optical test and measurement applications where polarization dependence can affect accuracy, repeatability, and device qualification. By rapidly scrambling the polarization state of an optical signal, the PS3000 Series helps reduce the time-averaged degree of polarization and supports more stable measurement conditions.
Polarization dependence is an important issue in fiber optic measurement, optical communications, photonic components, and sensor systems. The FIBERPRO PS3000 Series can be used to help characterize optical devices, evaluate polarization dependent loss, and support polarization dependent gain testing in EDFA-related applications.
