In response to customer requests for low profile polarization controllers for system integration, General Photonics made a special effort to design this third generation polarization controller, the PolaRITE™ III, with significantly reduced height and size. The height reduction is especially advantageous for integration in test equipment, fiber sensors, fiber lasers and optical network modules. Due to a special athermal design, the temperature stability is also significantly improved over our early version PolaRITE II. As with other PolaRITE products, the PolaRITE™ III’s unique all fiber construction eliminates practically all insertion loss and backreflection. Combined with General Photonics’ miniature piezo driver card, it can be controlled either by a digital or analog signal to obtain any desired polarization output from an arbitrary input polarization state.
