LUNA’s Polarization Scrambler module uses a breakthrough all-fiber technology to effectively randomize polarization states. This module is designed to be easily plugged into sensor equipment or measurement instruments with minimal development effort. Its advanced digital circuitry delivers uniform SOP distribution over a wide operation temperature range, making it a good choice for sensor field applications. The PCD-005 can be remote controlled via RS-232 to set the operation wavelength or enable/disable the scrambling operation. The PCD-005 delivers superior performance with extremely low insertion loss, back reflection, and residual phase and amplitude modulation.
