The JDSU MPCS-A1 Multiple Application Platform (MAP) Polarization Controller series is optimized for the industry-leading JDSU MAP-200 platform. Based on the previous-generation Multiple Application Platform (MAP), the MAP-200 is the first photonic layer lab and manufacturing platform that is LAN Extensions for Instrumentation (LXI)-compliant by conforming to the required physical attributes, Ethernet connectivity, and interchangeable virtual instrument (IVI) drivers. The MAP-200 platform is optimized for density and maximum configurability to meet specific application requirements in the smallest possible foot print. The mPCS-A1 provides an efficient and precise way of creating any state of polarization. It can also be used as part of a polarization state analyzer. The mPCS-A1 is comprised of three rotating elements: a high extinction ratio polarizer, a quarterwave plate and a half-wave plate. The controller configuration can be offered with a single-mode (SM) or a polarization maintaining fiber (PMF) input. The polarization controllers can be combined with other instruments to complete measurement test systems such as erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) or passive component test sets. Extinction ratio > 40 dB. Fast axis alignment accuracy < ± 0.5 °. Angular accuracy ± 0.1 °. Rotational resolution 0,075 °. Maximum rotational speed per element 900 ° /s. Key Features. Complete polarization control. Designed to meet IEEE Std. 802.3aeTM 10 GbE testing requirements. Designed to perform fast polarization dependent loss (PDL) measurements (4-state Mueller method). Compact single width cassette. Very high angular accuracy and absolute fast axis alignment accuracy. Can be automated when used with MAP-200 LXI-compliant interfaces and IVI drivers.
