Polarization & Phase Control
Passive Optical Fiber Depolarizer: >1nm Linewidth
The PFDP Passive Optical Fiber Depolarizer is an all-fiber device that converts polarized input into random polarization output, featuring ultra-fast response, low cost, high power handling, and no electrical power requirements. It employs multiple fiber couplers arranged in series to achieve polarization scrambling, where each coupler introduces changes in polarization due to slight birefringence variations and random phase shifts. The cumulative effect results in complex, non-deterministic polarization changes, effectively scrambling the input light.
