JDS Hermetic Lithium Niobate Polarization Controller
Model : 21001106
The Hermetic Lithium Niobate Polarization Controller utilizes JDS Uniphase’s proprietary lithium niobate-based waveguide technology. The device can be configured to operate as a series cascade of eight or fewer waveplates and provides unlimited polarization control without resets.
The controller features typical response times ofless than 100 ns, polarization dependent loss (PDL) of less than 0.5 dB, and drive voltages below 50 V for each waveplate section. The lithium niobate polarization controller is an enabling device for polarization mode dispersion (PMD) compensation in legacy fiber plants. The device extends the reach of 10 and 40 Gb/s transmission on older, high-PMD fiber plants.
The well-established high-speed response of lithium niobate makes polarization controllers of this type a preferred choice for PMD compensation subsystems.
