Polarization & Phase Control
The NOPC polarization controller contains four high-speed electro-optical birefringence phase retardation plates, each independently controlled via analog inputs through four SMA connectors. It provides complete coverage of the Poincaré sphere, enabling the transformation of any input polarization state to any desired output state. Designed for continuous operation and fast response, it supports endless polarization control when integrated with sensors and auto-control firmware, ensuring stable output without manual resets. A wall-pluggable DC power supply is standard. A metal benchtop electrostatic protection enclosure, including a power supply, is an option for laboratory use. NOPC is ideal for applications requiring precise and reliable polarization management in dynamic environments.

Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
High Speed Fiber Polarization Controller, 10ns: Laboratory optical integration depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1310, 1550, Special wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (Bare fiber, 900um loose tube) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
Fiber Cover: Bare fiber, 900um loose tube · Fiber Length: 0.25m, 0.5m, 1.0m. Specify connector polish and fiber architecture together. FC/PC, FC/APC and SMA interfaces, and single-mode, multimode and polarization-maintaining fibers, impose different return-loss, mode-field and alignment requirements.
Wavelength: 1310, 1550, Special. Check the Polarization & Phase Control passband, insertion loss, return loss and power handling at the actual source wavelength; a nominal telecom-band label is not a substitute for the configured range.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
