In-Line Polarization Controller, 1520-1620 nm, Bare

The F-ILPC-15 In-line Polarization Controller is suitable for fiber optic systems and experiments where small size is needed. It performs like the bulky paddle controllers but can fit into most rack mountable housings. It is pigtailed with conventional communication fiber and can be easily installed in systems without difficulty.

The polarization controller does not squeeze the fiber which could damage the fiber jacket. The principle of the polarization controller is based on two quarter waveplates to transform an arbitrary input polarization state to another. The quarter waveplate is made by using fiber having birefringence. The device has two independently controllable rotators.

The F-ILPC-15 has an operating wavelength of 1520-1620nm. It comes with bare SMF fiber ends so that it may be attached directly to other bare fibers or add the connector of your choice.
