Frequently Asked Questions

The motor-driven PDLE 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.

The PDLE is optimized for C/L Band optical signals and operates within the wavelength range of 1520 nm to 1610 nm.

The PDLE can be used for PDL compensation, as a reference PDL source, for PDL calibration of test equipment, and for quality control and measurement purposes.

The PDLE features electrically controlled PDL emulation, low insertion loss, a broad wavelength range, a wide selection range of connectors, low cost, low polarization mode dispersion (PMD), and high PDL resolution. It also offers multiple computer interface options: RS232, I2C, or SPI.

Yes, the PDLE can accurately emulate PDL effects caused by various passive/active optical devices such as attenuators, modulators, array waveguides, fiber Bragg gratings, switches, fused couplers, etc.
