Optical fiber is known for providing stable optical transmission, but it is also well known that optical fiber can be affected by slight structural shifts and influenced by disturbances, so that the total input and output of a comprehensive combination of optical fibers exhibit wave plate functionality.
The characteristics may vary due to disturbances of temperature changes and vibration in a relatively modest manner.
In addition, although polarization-maintaining fibers which provide stable transmission of polarized waves are also available, they are not cost effective when used to consistently control polarization with various function devices.
This product can be used for automatic linear polarization tracking in the above cases. This product realizes stable linear polarization output, even though polarization input is unstable.
This product is recommended for a wide range of applications, such as optical communications, optical measurement, biotechnology, and other research institutions, etc.
