Luna Innovations’ high-speed polarization state generator (PSG 2000) enables quick generation of up to six distinctive polarization states (LCP, RCP, Linear ±22.5°, Linear ±67.5°) across a Poincaré sphere in less than 50 μs between two consecutive states, with high repeatability of less than 0.1 degree.
PSG 2000 uses a new self-latching PSG 4bit optical head. In addition, its predictable wavelength and temperature dependence allows for easy calibration, making it a perfect choice in swept wavelength component measurement systems. PSG 2000 comes with user interface for manually adjust and automatically sweep selected states from 6 distinctive polarization states.
