Keysight (Agilent) 11896A Lightwave Polarization Controller

The HP 11896A Polarization Controller adjusts polarization and not power. Its optical fiber loop design provides all states of polarization with extremely small optical insertion-loss variations (±0.002 dB) over a wide spectral range (1250 to 1600 nm). This performance combination maximizes measurement accuracy for power-sensitive applications like polarization-dependent loss and gain. This is because the measurement uncertainty contributed by the polarization controller is minimized. Specifications. Operating Wavelength Range: 1250 to 1600 nm. Overall Insertion Loss: <2.0dB. Insertion Loss Variation (with adjustment/rotation): < ± .002 dB (Option 025). Polarization Extinction Ratio: > 40 dB. Polarization Adjustment Resolution: 0.18° (180° /1000 encoder positions). Angular Adjustment Accuracy: Minimum step size, ±0.18°; Greater than minimum step size, ±0.18°. Optical Port Return Loss: > 35 dB. Option 025: One meter fiber extender with FC/PC connector interfaces.

Coherence Time
Average time for the wave train to lose its phase realtionships

Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG)
A fiber Bragg grating (FBG) is a type of distributed Bragg reflector constructed in a short segment of optical fiber that reflects particular wavelengths of light and transmits all others. This is achieved by adding a periodic variation to the refractive index of the fiber core, which generates a wavelength specific dielectric mirror. A fiber Bragg grating can therefore be used as an inline optical filter to block certain wavelengths, or as a wavelength-specific reflector.

Modulation
Modulation is the process by which the characteristic of one wave (the carrier) is modified by another. Adding information into pulses of light.

Power Linearity
When changing the power level and measuring the differences (in dB) between actual and displayed power levels, the power linearity is ± half the span (in dB) between the maximum and the minimum value of all differences.

Stability
Stability is the extent to which a specified property, characteristic, or parameter of a substance, device, or apparatus, such as a fiber optic transmission system, remains fixed with the passage of time or with varying environmental conditions.
