Motor Driven Polarization Dependent Loss Emulator - OEM

Name: Motor Driven Polarization Dependent Loss Emulator - OEM
Brand: OZ Optics
Availability: InStock

Description

The motor-driven polarization dependent loss emulator (PDLE) by OZ Optics is an OEM module equipped with a built-in stepper motor, optical block, and control firmware. It allows precise control of a desired PDL artifact value within a dynamic range of 0.1 dB to 20 dB using remote control interface commands.

With low insertion loss, low polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and a wide operating wavelength range, this PDLE is optimized for C/L Band optical signals from 1520 nm to 1610 nm. It enables accurate emulation of PDL effects caused by various passive/active optical devices, assisting in measuring and defining polarization dependent losses in optical systems.
