Fiber Optic Depolarizer
The Phoenix Photonics optical fiber depolarizer is an all-fiber Lyot type device producing pseudo-random polarization output, with low degree of polarization (DOP), for any input state of polarization (SOP).
The fiber optic depolarizer is a passive device utilising the coherence properties of the source to randomise the SOP. For optimum performance the fiber depolarizers are designed to match the source spectrum and differing requirements of optical sources from broadband ASE’s to high power amplifier pump lasers.
