LUNA DEP Depolarizer
Product Code:
DEP
Manufacturer: Luna Technologies
The LUNA DEP series of passive depolarizers depolarize light sources to an output DOP <5%. A standard configuration can be used for light sources with coherence lengths less than 10 meters, but custom versions can be made for specific light sources.
- Low output DOP <5%
- Customizable for different wavelengths and coherence lengths
- Passive device- no power source required
- Low IL
- Compact
The LUNA Depolarizers function by introducing a differential delay between the orthogonal polarization components that is longer than the coherence length of the light, to remove the phase relationship between the two polarization components. Different structures can be used depending on the requirements of the application.
A depolarizer is useful to neutralize polarization dependence in a system. Applications include fibre sensor and communication systems.
