Polarized Fiber Optic Sources
Description
OZ Optics' Polarized Fiber Optic Sources (PFOSS) offer highly stable, precise polarization control for fiber optic testing and measurement applications. These sources are available in a variety of wavelengths (e.g., 1310 nm, 1550 nm) with high extinction ratios of up to 40 dB. The standard PFOSS features a rotatable polarizer, allowing users to adjust the polarization axis to any desired angle, with a motorized version providing 0.1° resolution for even more precise adjustments.
An optional blocking-style optical attenuator can be added for power control, ensuring repeatable results without affecting spectral properties. Designed for use in critical applications, PFOSS is ideal for polarization-dependent loss (PDL) measurements and extinction ratio testing.
Its rugged and compact design, along with a range of available connector receptacles, ensures versatility and easy integration into various testing setups. For higher stability, users can opt for the Highly Stable Polarized Fiber Optic Source (HIPFOSS) with Peltier cooling and isolators.

Frequently Asked Questions
The PFOSS is used for a wide range of applications in the fiber optic industry, including extinction ratio measurements, polarization dependent loss (PDL) measurements, and product manufacturing and quality control.
The PFOSS features a high polarization extinction ratio of up to 40 dB, stable output power, a wide range of available wavelengths, a rugged and compact design, and a wide range of connector receptacles. It also offers optional high power versions, adjustable output power, and a motorized rotator with sub-degree resolution.
Yes, the PFOSS allows users to adjust the polarization axis to their desired angle. The motorized version offers a high resolution of 0.1 degree.
Yes, there are different versions available. One version features a polarization maintaining fiber attached, with the output polarization aligned with the slow axis of the fiber. Another version is the motorized version, which is configured with a motorized rotor controlled via an external touch screen with a dedicated Graphical User Interface (GUI).
To improve stability, OZ-Optics recommends using angled connectors and receptacles for optimum stability. Selecting a super luminescent diode instead of a laser diode can also improve the stability of the polarization reading. Additionally, highly stable polarized fiber optic laser sources (HIPFOSS) with Peltier coolers and isolators are available for even greater stability.
