Micro Polarization Controller

PSM-003-C
This OEM micro polarization controller integrates General
Photonics' all-fiber dynamic polarization control
technology with miniature electronic drive/control circuitry
into a compact, self-contained device that provides full
polarization control functionality while minimizing volume,
power consumption, and cost. The state of polarization
(SOP) of the output signal can be controlled via three
analog 0 to 5V control voltages. This device is ideal for
integration into OCT or sensor systems to maximize
signal output. It requires only ±12VDC power supplies,
and its low power consumption enables use in batterypowered handheld devices.
