LUNA MPC-203 – High Speed Multifunction Polarisation Controller
- High speed SOP scrambling with SOP change rate up to 11 M rad/s
- Scrambling with Rayleigh rate distribution
- Discrete SOP scrambling
- SOP modulation
- Low IL, PDL, PMD, and AL
- Bright OLED display
The LUNA MPC-203 is a High Speed Multifunction Polarization Controller specially designed to meet the high SOP scrambling requirements needed for stress testing a coherent receiver’s polarisation tracking performance. It combines General Photonics’ award winning PolaRite™ II/III polarisation controller with proprietary polarisation control algorithms to achieve a wide range of polarisation control functionalities, including high speed polarisation scrambling with a maximum SOP change rate of up to 11 Mrad/s. Unlike other high speed polarisation scramblers found in the market, this all-fibre, pass-through design ensures low IL, PDL, PMD and activation loss.
APPLICATIONS
- SOP response test of coherent receivers
- SOP tracking speed test
- PMD and PDL related tests
- SOP variation emulation
- Polarsation scrambling
