This is a fully connectorized polarization controller that comes with either male (PLC-005) or female (PLC-004) connectors, thus eliminating the headaches of fiber pigtails. Customers can use the bulkhead connectors of their choice. Although the unit comes with FC type connectors, it can interface with ST and SC type connectors with industry standard FC/ST or FC/SC adapters. The device is especially suitable for interconnecting polarization maintaining (PM) fibers using standard connectors without having to align the birefringent axes of the PM fibers. Optional scales allow easy replication of earlier settings, a feature highly desirable in laboratories for repeating polarization adjustments.
