LUNA DEP Depolarizer
The LUNA DEP series of passive depolarizers depolarize light sources to an output DOP <5%. A standard configuration can be used for light sources with coherence lengths less than 10 meters, but custom versions can be made for specific light sources.
- Low output DOP <5%
- Customizable for different wavelengths and coherence lengths
- Passive device- no power source required
- Low IL
- Compact

LUNA PCD-005 Polarization Scrambler
The LUNA PCD-005 Polarization Scrambler Module rapidly randomizes the instantaneous polarization state of output light to achieve a time-averaged depolarization effect. It includes circuitry to cover several wavelength bands, improve temperature performance and add remote control capability.
- Fast, uniform sphere coverage (DOP<5% when averaged over 2 ms)
- Easy to use
- Low IL, RL, PDL, and PMD
- Multiple wavelength bands
- Remote control
-
LUNA PCD-M02/MPC Dynamic Polarization Controller
The LUNA MPC series are electrically controlled, all-fibre polarization controllers based on fibre squeezing technology. They are also available with a driver board as the PCD-M02.
- Low insertion and activation loss
- Fast response
- Compact
- Driver board available

LUNA PSG-002/PSG-002-D High-Speed Polarization State Generator
LUNA's high-speed polarization state generator (PSG) module 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°.
- Switches between 6 polarization states: LCP, RCP, Linear ±22.5°, Linear ±67.5°
- Typical switching time 45 μs
- SOP repeatability 0.1°
- Self-latching
- Zero static power dissipation
- 4-bit control
- Compact and minimal heat generation
-
LUNA PSM-002 Miniature Polarization Scrambler
The LUNA PSM-002 Miniature Polarization Scrambler is a small module that generates discrete, random states of polarization (SOP) at a user-controllable rate.
- User-selectable scrambling rates
- Environmentally rugged
- Low IL, RL, PDL, and PMD
- Compact
-
LUNA PSW-003/PSW-003-M High-Speed Polarization Switch
The LUNA all solid-state, high speed self-latching polarization switch can quickly and repeatedly rotate the SOP of incoming light by a fixed angle, either 45 or 90 degrees, or convert an input linear polarization state to an output circular polarization state with 45 μs switching time, typically.
- Digitally switched SOP
- Fast switching time 45 μs (typical)
- SOP repeatability 0.1°
- Self-latching
- Zero static power dissipation
- Compact
- Minimal heat generation
