Deterministic Polarization Controller

   

Part of the Phoenix Photonics FirebirdTM range of instruments, the deterministic polarization controller allows tracking of any user specified state of polarization in the measurement reference plane. The on-board microprocessor is programmed through via a simple PC interface to provide a range of pre-selected or user defined operations.
