Polarization & Phase Control
Ultra-Fast Fiber Polarization Scrambler/Depolarizer
The NOPS Series High-Speed Polarization Scrambler is a non-mechanical, electro-optical device engineered for ultra-high-speed polarization randomization with low optical loss and exceptional long-term reliability. It employs multiple electro-optic crystal-based polarization rotators, aligned at 45° intervals, each driven at a distinct fixed frequency to achieve rapid, full-coverage scrambling over the Poincaré sphere. Configurations are available with 3 to 4 rotators, with higher plate counts improving performance in terms of operating temperature range, wavelength coverage, and residual degree of polarization. For even tighter specifications, two units can be connected in series. Housed in a compact aluminum enclosure, the plug-and-play module requires no adjustments—simply connect the fibers and supply 12V DC power using the included adapter.

Integration and compatibility
Use these checks to connect Ultra-Fast Fiber Polarization Scrambler/Depolarizer to the surrounding optical, mechanical and control system. Every value shown is taken from this model's own specification record.
- Optical interface and fiber
- Fiber Type: SMF-28, HI1060 · Fiber Cover: 0.9mm tube, Bare fiber
- 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 and loss budget
- Wavelength: 1550nm, 1310nm, 1060nm, 850nm, 750nm, 2000nm
- 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.
