Buying Polarization Scramblers
Polarization scramblers make light unpolarized by rapidly changing the polarization state in a random manner. This can suppress certain polarization effects, beneficial in long-distance optical fiber transmission systems.

 34, Rue de la Croix de Fer 78100 Saint Germain-en-Laye France See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 5039)! |  The PSW-LN and PSC-LN are two compact and high speed electro-optic polarization switches and scramblers. These integrated-optic devices feature a low-loss single-mode waveguide and are capable of modulating the polarization at frequencies ranging from DC to more than 10 GHz. These modulators are available for the C and O bands and find interest for Distributed Temperature Sensing (DTS). |
 Test. Measure. Solve. Quantifi Photonics Limited12–14 Parkway Drive Auckland 0632 New Zealand See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 4536)! |  Quantifi Photonics' polarization conditioning instruments offer fully-software control of the polarization of optical signals for polarization dependent testing procedures. Available with broad wavelength coverage, low insertion loss and low back reflection in compact benchtop or PXI form factors. |
