The LUNA MPC-202 is an advanced Multifunction Polarisation Controller specially designed to meet the requirements of coherent receiver performance tests. It combines General Photonics’ award winning PolaRite™ II/III polarisation controller with proprietary polarisation control algorithms to achieve a wide range of polarisation control functionalities, including high speed quasi-uniform rate polarisation scrambling, random-rate polarisation scrambling with Rayleigh rate distribution, discrete-state polarisation scrambling with high slew rate, sine, square, and triangle-wave SOP modulation, and manual polarisation control functions.

In particular, the “Tornado” quasi-uniform rate polarisation scrambling function can achieve a high SOP scrambling rate of up to 60,000 revolutions/s (more than 360 krad/s) with a narrow rate distribution clustered around the highest rate.

 APPLICATIONS

  • Laboratory testing of polarisation related parameters
  • Performance tests of fibre optic interferometers and systems
  • SOP tracking speed testing of coherent receivers.
