Request InfoLaser Components Germany GmbHThe PXA-1000 measuring station from General Photonics measures polarization crosstalk at specific locations along polarization-maintaining (PM) optical fiber. Based on a white-light interferometer, the device filters out the disturbing zero-order interferences and minimizes multiple interferences. This reduces ghost peaks and makes it possible to detect the intensity and location of discrete polarization crosstalk to within a few centimeters. The PXA-1000 is suited for the characterization of PM fiber spools, PM fibers and PM waveguide structures. If the PM fiber is used as a...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra August 2022 IssuePyroelectric Detectors and EmittersThe 55+ series of pyroelectric detectors and emitters from Laser Components GmbH are matched to provide results at wavelengths between 5 and 10 µm.
