Polarization Synthesizer/AnalyzerGeneral Photonics Corp.CHINO, Calif., Dec. 9 -- General Photonics is offering PolaFlex, a new turnkey instrument that can generate and maintain any desired state of polarization (SOP), regardless of the input SOP. It combines General Photonics’ patented polarization controller, inline polarimeter and control algorithm into an instrument that functions as both a deterministic polarization state generator and a polarization analyzer. The generated SOP and the corresponding Poincare Sphere can be readily displayed on a computer screen via USB interface. To generate a desired SOP, a user may simply input the...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSPhotonics Spectra October 2022 IssueLaser Engraver and CutterThe P20 PLUS laser engraver and cutter from Atezr is a four-beam diode device with a work area of up to 430 × 430 mm.
