In-Line Fiber Polarization Controller

The In-Line Fiber Polarization Controller consists of a rotatable fiber squeezer and two fiber clamps. Stress birefringence is generated in the single-mode fiber by mechanically squeezing the fiber (remember to control the squeezing force to avoid damaging the fiber). This is equivalent to a variable rotating wave plate, the polarization angle and delay of which can be adjusted continuously and individually, thereby converting any input polarization state into the desired output polarization state.

Features

✅ Convert any input polarization state to any desired output polarization state.
✅ The fiber squeeze design is equivalent to a variable wave plate inside the fiber.
✅ Insensitive to wavelength variations, vibrations, and fiber types.
✅ Versions for Ø250 µm Bare Fiber or Ø900 µm Tight-Buffer Jacketed Fiber.
