Polarization & Phase Control
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.

# Rotator: 3 · Wavelength: 1550nm · Max Frequency: 300kHz · Optical Power: 0.3W · Fiber Type: SMF-28 · Fiber Cover: 0.9mm tube · Fiber Length: 0.25m · Connectors: FC/PC
Application context
Application guidance is tied to the configured wavelength, fiber interface and optical-budget fields for this family.
Ultra-Fast Fiber Polarization Scrambler/Depolarizer: Laboratory optical integration depends on preserving the optical budget through the complete path. The 1550nm, 1310nm, 1060nm, 850nm, 750nm, 2000nm wavelength specification sets source and detector compatibility. The fiber/interface entry (SMF-28, HI1060) must match the connected components.

Technical FAQ
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: 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.
Share your wavelength, fiber type, connector, power handling and control requirements and we will qualify the matching configuration and part number.
